Assignments

Assignment 1: We have seen several (about six) interpretations of Non-determinism, describe each one and expalin it is a valid interpretation. Important points, i.e why it is interesting and what it tells us.

Assignment 2: Discuss Cook's Theorem. Due Tu Sep 30 2008

Extra Credit

This section will probably be empty. You will be notified if there is ever extra credit work.
