thank you for the reference material! i'm a student at central michigan right now and will be heading into my intro. to algorithms class this upcoming semester. i'll be sure to use it to supplement (and not pester you for free answers)

from what i see elsewhere in this thread, you've got quite a good reputation around illinois. i recently lost a favorite professor of my own mid-semester last year, and it made me realize just how much a good instructor means to people. so thank you for being that for students!
