University of Virginia Department of Computer Science
There was an unfortunate misunderstanding when the Dean’s office informed the Computer Science department that we could admit 25 new graduate students this year. The CS admissions committee naturally interpreted the limit number as hexadecimal, and admitted thirty-seven new graduate students. Apparently, the Dean’s office intended the number to be interpreted as decimal, so we admitted 12 more students than permitted. As a result, we are administering this exam to the admitted students to determine which students should be unadmitted.
This exam has two questions in each of our three qualifying areas: theory, architecture and systems. Please answer all questions to the best of your ability and submit your answers before 11:59PM on Friday, April 1st^ 2005. If more than 25 students answer all questions correctly, Pete Gillen has offered to conduct a basketball shoot-around tomorrow morning to determine which of the remaining students should be unadmitted. In the event that you are unadmitted, we are no longer able to pay your travel expenses for the visit day. Please send a reimbursement check (or the equivalent in whisky) to Louminary Sofa, Apartment of Commuter Science, University of East Virginia, 151 Reengineer’s Way, 204 Olsson Hall, Charlottansville, VA 22901.
1. Traveling Prospective Grad Student Problem. Ally Hacker has been admitted to several computer science PhD programs and is planning a trip to visit all of the schools she might want to attend. A map of the programs that have admitted Ally is below. The lines on the edges indicate the mileage between each school. Determine the best possible route for Ally to visit all worthwhile schools. Provide an algorithm for Ally can use do determine which graduate school to attend that has worst case execution time O ( n ) where n is the number of schools that have admitted Ally.
