Should we have a mega-session sometime? If we have a bunch of them, we
can do a review of each, i.e. cover only the most important, GRE-
related stuff from each one. Here are a bunch of topics with the
subtopics that seem relevant to the GRE. Feel free to add on:

1) Heaps: what they are, complexity of operations, heap property,
insertion/deletion
2) Red-black tree: what, complexity of operations, insertion/deletion
[note: no "rotations" -- unlikely to be on the exam]
3) Special heaps: binomial, fibonacci -- same subtopics as (1)
4) Recurrences: solving reasonably simple ones
5) Complexity: relation between complexity classes, common NP-complete
problems
6) Complexity: formal languages, decidability
6) OS: process scheduling, virtual memory, security (access control
lists and such)

Also, we really should decide when we want to meet. I'm fine with
anytime except 2-3:30pm on Tue / Th, and before noon in general
(although I'm willing to compromise on that one).

So, is anyone coming for this ?
I don't see any emails from Anushka/Joel.

Do let me know, I don't want to travel all the way from the west campus and find nobody.

cheerio,

1:37PM Today -- Habiba and Ishaan have confirmed.
Anyone else?

As of now, it looks like a NO-GO --- correct me if I'm wrong.
Text/call me at (312) 330 - 6043.
