		      EXERCISE 11: EXAM 3 REVIEW
                 (File $Date: 2005/04/05 15:59:10 $)

The purpose of this exercise is to review for exam 3.
See $PUB/exam-study-guides/exam3-topics.txt for more about this exam.

As with all exercises, this is to be done individually.  And it is due
the day this topic is planned to be discussed in class, unless
specified otherwise (see the syllabus at:
http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~cs342/syllabus.shtml).

We expect this to help you think about the readings (see below).
If you don't have an answer or an answer that you think is good,
write down what you read, and a question or two that would have helped
you make progress.   Then you can ask that question in class;
there will be other people with the same problem, and everyone can
learn by discussing these issues.  And you'll most likely see similar
things on the homework, so it's best to understand them now.
