• Download Algorithms and Complexity by Herb Wilf. Quicksort is discussed in Section 2.2 (pages 31-38). We may also look at Section 2.4 (47-50).

• I've assigned some odd-numbered problems for homework. You should still turn these in, but use the book to get additional feedback on your work (DON'T just copy from the book).

• If you don't come to Monday's review session, you can get the solutions to the review problems in Tuesday's lab.

• The second midterm will be Wednesday, 05 November, at 1:00 in Hebert 210 (the room where we had our first midterm). I expect the number and style of questions to be similar to the first midterm.
