Introduction

Posted on Tuesday 29 May 2007

Howdy. This is my blog about algorithms.

Posts will fall into the following categories:

  1. Algorithms assigned as homework problems. These will be tagged as ‘edu’. I welcome submissions via email. I will always follow these guidelines:
    • I will only post about problems accessible from the “general web”, by which I mean that Google can find it.
    • I will only post about problems which were due at least a month ago. This should cover extensions.
    • I will always paraphrase the problem (or maybe even rewrite it as an equivalent problem) and I won’t link back to any source. This makes searching more difficult and allows the problem to be reused.
    • If you are a teacher and don’t want me to use your problems, please email me. You will have to give me a convincing reason to delete existing posts.
  2. Fairly recent results in algorithms. These will be tagged as ‘new’.
  3. Classic algorithms, tagged as ‘classic’.
  4. Algorithms as mentioned in popular culture or the media. These will be tagged as ‘pop’.
  5. Philosophical stuff, ‘philosophy’
  6. My own personal ideas, ‘idea’.

I’ll add to this as I see fit.

    Sounds great! As a self-taught programmer trying to learn real CS in my spare time, I hope you weight heavily on the disclosure side.

    This is a test of a bug I encountered when previewing, then posting.
