Quiz 1 will be on Wednesday in class. Additional reference material for the search and rule based systems have been posted. In addition, here are some notes the TAs have prepared. There will also be some last minute TA office hours in 34-302 from 6:10-7:10pm on Tuesday. Bring problems.

Sunday, 26 September

Lab 2 on Search is released. It is due the evening of Friday, October 8th at midnight. Looking over lab 2 and working on it early may give you additional hands-on experience with search concepts, and can help you master the material for Quiz 1.

Saturday, 18 September

Lab 1 on Rule-based Systems is released. It is due the evening of Friday, September 24th at midnight. The dates for all lab releases are also available from the Labs page.

Wednesday, 15 September

If you currently still do not have a Recitations and/or Tutorials assignment please email Yuan (yks) with the times that work best for you. Even if you don't plan to attend, it's good to sign up to receive announcements and extra material from your Recitation instructors and TAs.

Tuesday, 14 September

Many of the online tester submit issues have been resolved by a recent fix to the key.py file that you are asked to download. If you have been having trouble submitting, please download a new key.py file from https://6.034.scripts.mit.edu:444/fall10/tester/ and replace the one you currently have. Please let us know if you still have problems.

Thanks to Jelle for discovering the fix!

Monday, 13 September

We have assigned you to a regular recitation if we received your form. In the usual 3.091 chaos, some forms may have gone missing. If you are not on the assignment list above, fetch a form from us on Wednesday, fill it out, and make sure it gets into the hands of a TA.

Saturday, 11 September

Your tutorial assignment is available via the link above.

We have to start over on recitation assignments because of a miscommunication with the registrar. Scheduling forms similar to the one you filled out for tutorial assignment will be handed out in Monday's lecture.

Friday, 10 September

Lab 0 is available from the "Labs" link above. It is Due Friday, September 17th.

MegaRecitation Files are available here.

Tutorial information will appear on this page over the weekend.

Thursday, 9 September

Although there are no regular recitations this week, there will be a mega-recitation in the usual 10 AM slot in 10-250. Unlike most mega-recitations, which cover quiz problems, this one is a python review.

Wednesday, 8 September

If you did not get a tutorial scheduling form, you can get one from a supply just outside Professor Winston's office, 32-151. Scheduling is proceeding, so return as soon as possible, to Professor Winston's office.

Lecture are Mondays and Wednesdays at 10 AM in 10-250. Mega-recitations occur on Fridays at 10 AM in 10-250, the same place and time slot that is occupied by lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Recitations: R1 (13-5101) or R2 (13-5101) or R3 (13-5101) F1 (24-407) or F2 (24-407) or F3 (24-407)

There will not be any regular recitations this week; they will begin next week.


Python

The official language of 6.034 is Python for a variety of reasons having little to do with the strengths and weaknesses of the language. We expect a focused weekend with any of the many Python books would be adequate preparation. See, for example, the Amazon list.

Alternatively, you can follow one of the suggestions of Rob Speer, head 6.034 TA in 2008:

  • Dive into Python is a well-recommended book that is available online. It's written for experienced programmers who just don't know Python yet. It's meant to quickly take what you already know about other languages and explain how Python does them.
  • At the other end of the spectrum, the text that was used in 6.00 has been expanded into one called Think Python. It's online. It is targeted at people who have not programmed much or at all.
  • In the middle is the O'Reilly book Learning Python. MIT has a subscription to O'Reilly, so anyone with an MIT IP address can read the book online.
