The class is Automata, Complexity, and Compatability. I'm a CPSC Information Security and Assurance major, and this is counts as an elective that I need to take to graduate.

"I would also ask him if he expects people to already know how to do these kinds of proofs; or if you are expected to learn that set of skills in the course." (I don't really know how to do the quoting thing y'all were doing earlier so I just did it this way). I really have no idea how to do these proofs and would have had no idea where to start if EonsNearby hadn't asked the questions in the first place.
EonsNearby said:Yeah, I typically find flaws/typos in assignments first since I try to do them as soon as they are assigned. I'm assuming that everyone waited till this day or yesterday to start looking at the assignment.
SteveL27 said:Maybe you should all go see him at once. He needs to know that he's losing people from the getgo. Sometimes professors can forget all about what it's like to see this material for the first time.
SteveL27 said:You did well to jump on the assignment right away. This is a class where you want to stay ahead of the text, ahead of the lectures, and jump on the HW the moment you get it.
I started looking at it when first assigned as well and tried to do the ones that I understood enough to at least get a partial answer for before I tried to do the ones that I didn't have a clue how to do. I'm a graduate student which means I have more of the problems to do, which is why it has taken me until now to look at this question. I am also rather bad at math which means it takes longer than normal for me to figure these things out.
He realized the mistake after someone told him there is a mistake.fader84 said:I didn't think you were trying to imply anything. I withheld replying in the hopes that he would realize that there was a mistake and inform us like he did for question 1. I must have missed it when you ask about the other questions, to which my response would have been I just put down logic and hoped that he was satisfied with that. Well, logic and some of the definitions out of the book.
