CS103: Mathematical Foundations of Computing

We've just finished grading the final exam. We've posted solutions and statistics, and your graded exams are up online at Gradescope. It's been a pleasure teaching CS103 this quarter. Feel free to stay in touch with us throughout your further adventures, and enjoy the break!

The final exam is now available. It's due this upcoming Thursday, December 9th at 3:30PM. We are so impressed by how much progress you've made since the start of the quarter. Best of luck on the exam - you can do this! We've also posted the solutions to Problem Set Nine in case you'd like to reference it during the exam.

We've just posted a large bank of cumulative practice problems you can use to review topics from throughout the quarter.

The final problem set of the quarter, Problem Set Nine, goes out today. It comes due on December 3 at 2:30PM, right before our last lecture. This problem set explores the outer limits of computation and what problems are truly beyond the reach of computers to solve. Although you have the full two weeks to work on this problem set, it's designed to only take the regular amount of time to complete. We won't be holding office hours over the break, and our replies on EdStem might be slower than usual. Good luck!

Problem Set Eight goes out today and is due, as usual, next Friday at 2:30PM Pacific. In this problem set, you'll explore context-free grammars, the border between the regular and the nonregular, and tinker around with Turing machines. We hope you have fun with this one as you both build up concrete CFGs and TMs and explore just how powerful they are. Good luck!
