Recitation scheduling information has been updated again. Everyone who's sent me (or 6042-staff) mail has been reassigned according to their preferences. PLEASE check your section assignment. it's at http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/classes/6.042/sections/students.html If anyone can switch from another section into an 11--1 one, we would greatly appreciate it -- it's to your advantage since there'll be fewer people in your section and more opportunity to get your questions answered! And just to clarify: (1) it doesn't matter what section you went to last week, or who you handed your problem set in to, or even what anyone (including me) told you about what section you're in. YOUR OFFICIAL SECTION IS WHAT'S LISTED ON THE WEB PAGE, and that's where we expect you to go. (2) The number beside your name _doesn't_ indicate the time! It's the section number. To see what time/room it is, click on "Return to Recitation Information" (3) Again, if you have a conflict with your assigned section, email me. thanks. tara  1,, Summary-line: 18-Feb etara@MIT.EDU [12] #Problem Set 3 Mail-from: From etara@MIT.EDU Wed Feb 18 08:05:09 1998 Return-Path: Received: from MIT.EDU (PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU) by theory.lcs.mit.edu (5.65c/TOC-1.2S) id AA16114; Wed, 18 Feb 98 13:06:02 EST Received: from M37-312-37.MIT.EDU by MIT.EDU with SMTP id AA17999; Wed, 18 Feb 98 13:05:29 EST Received: by m37-312-37.MIT.EDU (940816.SGI.8.6.9/4.7) id NAA02743; Wed, 18 Feb 1998 13:05:09 -0500 Message-Id: <199802181805.NAA02743@m37-312-37.MIT.EDU> To: 6042-students@theory.lcs.mit.edu Subject: Problem Set 3 Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 13:05:09 EST From: Tara B Schenkel *** EOOH *** To: 6042-students@theory.lcs.mit.edu Subject: Problem Set 3 Date: Wed, 18 Feb 1998 13:05:09 EST From: Tara B Schenkel Just a reminder that PS3 is now available on the web page, and is due on Tuesday, February 24th. tara  1,, Mail-from: From etara@MIT.EDU Fri Feb 27 14:02:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: from MIT.EDU (SOUTH-STATION-ANNEX.MIT.EDU) by theory.lcs.mit.edu (5.65c/TOC-1.2S) id AA27124; Fri, 27 Feb 98 19:03:09 EST Received: from DEPARTMENT-OF-ALCHEMY.MIT.EDU by MIT.EDU with SMTP id AA28971; Fri, 27 Feb 98 19:02:12 EST Received: by department-of-alchemy.MIT.EDU (8.8.7/4.7) id TAA11683; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 19:02:11 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199802280002.TAA11683@department-of-alchemy.MIT.EDU> To: 6042-students@theory.lcs.mit.edu Subject: new 6.042 TA Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 19:02:11 EST From: Tara B Schenkel *** EOOH *** To: 6042-students@theory.lcs.mit.edu Subject: new 6.042 TA Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 19:02:11 EST From: Tara B Schenkel we just got a new TA for 6.042 (Mark Roh), which means that we need to do some recitation rescheduling in order to keep sections balanced. if you want to move from your assigned section (which is on the web page), send me email stating what section you're currently assigned to, what time you'd like to have recitation, AND what other times you don't have conflicts with.

(d) (Revised 4/10/98) Regarding the function of part (b) as an(ordinary) generating function, what are its first four coefficients? ------------------------------------------------- If you've already done the old part (c), that's OK: you needn't do the new parts. Also, the reading assignment for the PSet was omitted. It is: Rosen Section 4.6; Rosen Appendix 3; 6.042 Fall 97, Notes for Lecture 17. The complete revised Problem Set 8 is on the course web page.

Roh" If you're preparing for Friday's final by studying previous semesters' practice finals, you ought to know that Question 5 of the Spring 1997 practice final has a few typos in it. Question 5 consists of four T/F questions. The first reads "... f_a(x)=axp" when it should read, "... f_a(x)=ax (mod p)" The third T/F question reads "If a^(-1)b exists, then so does b^(-1)a." It should state, "If a^(-1) (mod b) exists, then so does b^(-1) (mod a)." The other two parts need no correction. A corrected version of the problem is available on this semester's 6.042 home page. I apologize for the error.

You can email 6042-meyer@theory.lcs.mit.edu starting next Wednesday for your official grade. Your TA will probably have your final score on Sunday, and you may ask him/her to get an idea how you do in the class in general. Lastly, the solution of the exam is on the webpage. This would be the last handout we give out. Anyway, good luck to you, and have a nice summer! Edmond
