I am thinking of converting my lecture notes for my "Randomized #Algorithms" class into a textbook over this semester. What do you think, and what would you like to see?
More tutorials/exercises? Examples of assignments? Something else? Let me know!

No, academics do not "forget" to answer emails. They remember and feel bad about them, the guilt slowly building up, until the only way out is to fake their own death and move far, far away under a different identity to build a new life, a better one, with inbox zero and no shame
Anyways, I owe you an email.
