• datastructures & algorithm sheet (.pdf)

Never the less my job as a tutor for the lecture datastructures & algorithms starts in the next week and I’m excited about it.

Well at least I was able to sleep long in the past five free days I had. Well except for tonight… Did I already mention that Nano has the worst timing ever?!

Imagine the following situation:

You’re studying in a foreign country. You invite a group of your friends from your home to visit you in this particular country. Then, after they come to Aachen after a four hour flight and a ninty minutes trainride, you decide to take them out for supper in the city. There you introduce them to your fellow student (whose role I take in this insane plot). Well after having supper and drinking a bit you finally come to the conclusion that everyone is really exhausted, so you decide to dissolve the group and bring the guys to your appartment where they will stay for the next few days.

But when you arrive in front of your appartment-building you notice, that you forgot your keys inside your appartment. Well, crappy situation but no need to despair. You have been intelligent enough to deposit two extra keys. One is with another fellow student who - by an ironic temper of destiny - isn’t home and the other one is with a person that you even can not get a hold on after several minutes on the cellphone…

Well, long story short. I’m really tired, because I had to share my tiny appartment with four spanish guys because Nano is to stupid to bring his keys with him…

- Michael, tormented.

Neglecting one point, that I have to discuss with my professor in psychology first, I patched up a first version of my layout for the experimental set-up we need to create this semester to gain the admission to the written exam in psychology.

Because many people amongst my clique yet do not have a certain conception of how to structure and layout the set-up, I upload the PDF and the LaTeX source code as a treat.

• Experimental Set-Up (.pdf)

(So finally this is the version of the experimental setting that was accepted. The original version posted here earlier had a little flaw regarding the measurement of a variable involving something called the “null-effect”. So I had to turn some of the little screws located at the rear site of the box right beneath the purple image of a rabbit to make it work…)

• Solving homogeneous linear Recursions (.pdf)
• Difference Calculus (.pdf)
• Permutations (.pdf)
• Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion (.pdf)

So tomorrow is the exam in psychology. At least I think it is. I have been studying the past two days for it and it seems as if the exams have been very similar over the past two years. So I merged the mind journals of the exam contents that have been available to me into a small PDF document. I’m not sure if the interpretation of the questions or the answers are correct but I’ll post it anyway.

• List of questions (.pdf)

after working through most of the nights this week I am proud to present the final version of my proseminar on self-stabilizing algorithms. To be honest I am more charmed by the thought of a whole night of sleep than anything else… So I’ll make it quick and just post the documents here.

• Self-Stabilizing Algorithms - Elaboration (.pdf)
• Self-Stabilizing Algorithms - Presentation (.pdf)

The document is available as an excel sheet:

• Learning-Schedule 2006/2007 (.pdf)

• Self-stabilizing Algorithms

(So after a lot of reading and the correction of some major spelling errors I will hand in this version and wait for the results…)

Today after the exam in “discrete structures” I managed to move half of my stuff to my new appartment with help of Fernando who is going to Spain for a month roughly. So our private project on computer graphics will be put on hold for the next four weeks.

Felix also went home for a few days, so I now have a decent stock of time I plan to spend on my cute girlfriend and my work.
