1 November - 7 November

We are running one step behind the official lecture schedule.

This delay follows from us having devoted Lecture 10, on October 27, to the in-depth discussion of the in-class exercise attached to Lecture 9: that was time well spent, I hope, for you to understand the termination behaviour of servers.

However, that delay is having a cascading effect on our progress, which you should be aware of, and make up for as much as possible. Let me break it out so that you may appreciate it fully:

• The lecture I gave you today, November 3, should have been L10, and should have launched your personal study of the two program examples attached to L10 as well as of the asynchronous version of Eratosthenes' sieve.
• The lecture scheduled for today (L11), instead, should have been devoted precisely to discussing the outcome of such homework.
