PREREQUISITES:

You should know the 3101 material to take this advanced graduate course in algorithms.
Last year, because many people struggled with it, we spent too much time reviewing the 3101 material.
This year we will spend much less time reviewing this material and I will be more insistent that you know it.
If you are at all uncomfortable with this material then you may still take 6111, but I strongly recommend that you
Read my 3101 text & slides
attend my 3101 lectures in parallel. (Sorry not teaching it this term)
