Pi in the Sky

Saturday, April 09, 2005

This morning, miracles occurred as I actually figured out the supposedly "easy" question on the approx assignment that stumped me the night before. And then Berkant came in at the right moment to tell me the impossible details of the impossible question. So it's all good, and the end result is one hand-written page. As usual, I should have trusted God way more than I do now...

The proctoring was as usual, just sitting there, chatting quietly. This time, I tried to have some fun with updating the time only at perfect squares thing. Of course I'm sure the students didn't appreciate having to do more math to figure out how much time is 81 minutes... The students definitely didn't have good looks on their faces, so I guess they didn't do too good... Oh yeah, and I was super hungry, so that wasn't helping much. I did, however, read some paper and found out about this nice approximation algorithm for the bandwidth problem.

I was really tired when I got home, and nobody wants to come to my place, so I slept at around 8. I had trouble breathing, and that is why I'm still awake right now...
