Homework O
Due January 25, 2016
in lecture and SVN
Instructions for submission into your
class SVN repository are on the webpage.

The purpose of this assignment is to give you a chance to refresh the math skills we
expect you to have learned in prior classes. These particular skills will be essential to
mastery of CS225 , and we are unlikely to take much class time reminding you how to
solve similar problems. Though you are not required to work independently on this
assignment, we encourage you to do so because we think it may help you diagnose and
remedy some things you might otherwise find difficult later on in the course. If this
homework is difficult, please consider completing the discrete math requirement (CSl 73
or MATH 213) before taking CS225.

1. (3 points) Using 140 characters or less, post a synopsis of your favorite movie to the course
piazza space under the "HWO tell me something!" notice, so that your post is visible to
everyone in the class, and tagged by #HWOnuml. Also, use Piazza's code-formatting tools
to write a private post to course staff that includes at least 5 lines of code. It can be code of
your own or from a favorite project-it doesn't even have to be syntactically correct-but it
must be formatted as a code block in your post, and also include the tag # HWOnuml. (Hint:
Check http://support.piazza.com/customer/portal/ articles/1774756-code-blocking). Finally,
please write the 2 post numbers corresponding to your posts here:

Favorite Movie Post (Public) number:

I 55 o

Formatted Code Post (Private) number:

IS 5 I

2. (12 points) Simplify the following expressions as much as possible, without using an calculator ( either hardware or software). Do not approximate. Express all rational numbers
as improper fractions. Show your work in the space provided, and write your answer in the
box provided.
