The final exam is Wednesday, 7p on Dec 13th! It will be in CEMEX or Hewlett 200, based on your last name. You can find all the details on the final page. Make sure to study. YOU👏 ARE👏 GOING👏 TO👏 BE👏 AWESOME👏!

Problem Set #6 has been released and is due next Wednesday (Dec 6th). In this pset, implement two core machine learning algorithms and apply them to real world datasets. Hope you enjoy.

Problem Set #5 has been released! Explore the beauty of the central limit, and more. Though it is due on Friday, you can all take a long extension (even if you have already used one).

The proof of the CLT is beyond the scope of the class. A friendly CS109 student from a few quarters ago (Sophia Furfine) made a video of the proof in case you are curious!

The midterm is back. Overall as a team you did a fantastic job on a hard test. The overall distribution of grades in the class will reflect that. For folks who would like to have done better there are many ways your grade is still in your hands. See the Midterm Page for more details.

One of the joys of probability+programming is the ability to make something totally of your own creation. In CS109 this quarter we are hosting a Challenge where you can make anything you like using the concepts and tools we learn in class. See the Challenge handout for more details.
