We worked through the 2004 power round and the 1996 and 2007 individual and relay rounds at Sunday's practice. These practice materials have been posted online at http://stanford.edu/~moorxu/2011ARML/. As before, to access the practice materials, use (username = sfba) and (password = arml). I encourage you to look at the problems, think about the ones that you didn't finish, and read the solutions.
Regarding homework: I've posted solutions to last week's homework. If you haven't done the homework yet, please do the problems. If you've done the homework, you should read the solutions and check your answers. Even if you got the problems right, reading the solutions might still give insight into simpler or more elegant solutions.
There is more homework for this week. I've posted the 1996, 2004, and 2007 ARML individual rounds on the website, and just as for last week, please do these problems under realistic testing conditions and submit your answers to the Google Docs forms listed below:
For most of you, your individual score is your largest contribution to your team's score, and it is the only portion of the team score over which you have complete responsibility. As such, doing the homework is essential to your team's success.
I understand that a number of you have conflicts with Sunday practices. However, due to a multitude of other conflicts, the only feasible time for practice next weekend is again Sunday. The next practice will be Sunday, 5/22, at the usual place and time: 2pm-5pm at Stanford. Unless there is significant opposition, the final practice is scheduled for Saturday, May 28, 2pm-5pm at Stanford. Please come to practice if at all possible.
Any questions or concerns? Please let me know.
