6.2 due November 7

The hardest part for me is understanding the difference between the law of large numbers and the Nota Bene 6.2.10.

There is a lot to these sections that we seem to be glossing over. It leaves me feeling unsure of how well I understand the material.

7.2 due November 19

The thing I didn't understand about this section is why we need to use a distribution Q instead of just sampling uniformly (which I guess is a distribution...) when we are trying to do rejection sampling. I think it is because it speeds things up as it will have fewer rejections than a rectangle would. This section seems like we are learning more of what we just learned. I understand most of it, but I'm not sure I would recognize when I should use any of the techniques in this section.

4.2 due October 10

The hardest thing for me in this section is following all the details of actually implementing a search. The general "go here, then here, then here" makes sense, but keeping track of all the stacks and dictionaries and lists is what takes me the most time. I liked the cartoon example of what a depth first search would look like in real life. It both made me laugh and made me think.
