Welcome to 15-750

This is the class blog for CMU 15-750 Graduate Algorithms. The instructor is Gary Miller, and the TAs are Michael Dinitz and Kanat Tangwongsan.

We will use this blog to supplement the course website. Announcements, supplementary materials, homework hints and clarifications, etc. will be posted here. This is a substitute for a mailing list. We encourage your participation in this blog.

Sometimes, we will want to type Math in these posts. To make sure MathML is working correctly, I have ''borrowed'' the following examples (and instructions) from Prof. Ryan O'Donnell's blog. The following two statements should look more or less the same:

A set system $L$ is "laminar" if for all $A$, $B$ $\in$ $L$, either $A \cap B = \emptyset$, $A \subseteq B$, or $B \subseteq A$.

and

A set system L is "laminar" if for all A, BL, either AB = Ø, AB, or BA.


If it's not working for you, you may need the following extensions:

  • IE Plug-in: http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/download.htm

  • Firefox Fonts: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts
