intro_to_csHello hello hello!
Lecture five was a short one, and we did not find out about the mysteries of the Newton method. Based on the handout, it looks like they planned to go over it, so I guess that comes next week.
Anyway, without the Newton method, this lecture was mostly stuff I understood from the readings. What about the rest of you? Anyone guess the bug in the squareRootBi code?
