Good
Prof. Simon is amazing! However, we struggled transitioning to online class. He submits grades late, but thank God he's a lenient grader. I would suggest you really attend class.

Poor
Topics in class are pretty interesting, but his presentation style is quite mediocre. He is one of the most terrible graders I've ever encountered! We got our first assigned grades the day of the final and he took until the due date for semester grading to return class grades. Wouldn't want to take him again.

Performance Studies of the Blossom V Algorithm
The Blossom algorithm is a graph theory algorithm that was first introduced in 1965 and which has been incrementally improved over time. The most recent version
Blossom V
computes a perfect matching of minimum cost of a graph. \n\nResearch included performing memory analysis
determining computational limitations
and conducting performance studies of the Blossom V algorithm.
