Partioning Discussion Sections for Lecture-Hall Sized Classes

Eric Hennigan had recently pitched a new partitioning problem to ACM: partitioning his discussion sections among two TAs such that students are equally distributed to each TA. Although the problem may be trivial to do by hand, it’s easy to decompose into discrete mathematics, and therefore, easy to analyze.

  • About Gio

    I am a torrent of ingenuity (or insanity) with a myriad of innovations (sometimes fallacies) and a wealth of inspiration (possibly naiveté). My name is Gio Carlo Cielo Borje and I like puffer fish because they're just cooltalkin', highwalkin' and fastlivin'.

    I'm also nineteen and a current student at UC Irvine for Computer Science.
