• 2.3 CLR Problem 2-3 (a) (pg 38-39).
• 2.4 Derive normal-form rules (like those for multiplication and addition) for minimization and logarithm.
• 2.5 Give a proof for the solution of T(1) = 1, T(n) = n + T(n/2) (not using Master Method).
• 2.6 CLR Exercise 4.1-5 (pg 57).
• 2.7 CLR Exercise 4.3-1 (pg 64).
• 2.8 CLR Problem 4-1 (pg 72).
