One of my Algorithms homework questions reads:
Problem 3: Solve problem 7.9 in the textbook.
I flip to the question nine at the end of chapter seven. That question begins:
Classify the edges of the graph used in Example 7.6 (see Figure 7.28) according to Definition 7.14, assuming blah blah blah...
I flip back several pages to find Example 7.6 and its accompanying figure 7.28, then search several more pages to find Definition 7.14. I find my post-it notes and mark the three pages I need to answer the question. I solve it and proceed:
Problem 5: Solve problem 8.23 in the textbook.
This question reads:
Prove Theorem 8.9. Hint: Use the MST property (Definition 8.2).
Ironic that we're working on right now, no?
