For Ex. 34, Change `a good estimate ...' to `a bad estimate--as Jie Zhong has pointed out. This incorrect estimate is based on a misprint in Feller. The correct estimate is m = n log n + n log(1/log 2). Using your program, show that this is a good estimate.'

EXAM 1, Friday 16 April

G&S Chapters 1-3 (except 3.3) and counting problems like those from Assignment 1.

NOTE: Printed copies of G&S have screwed-up numbering for the later problems in section 6.2. To fix things up, relabel problem 26 as 25(b), 27 as 26, 28 as 27, 29 as 28 and 30 as 29. The result should agree with the online version here:

G&S section 7.2: 4,5,6,8,15

G&S section 8.1: 1,2,12,17

HW8 DUE Monday 24 May

For all of the following problems, compute the exact answer in addition to using the CLT approximation. For the CLT computations, whenever appropriate use the so-called 1/2-correction, as in G&S Example 9.2. Note that the answer key does not reliably use (or omit) the 1/2-correction.
