I have thought about this for a while. It is indeed quite difficult to get through the exercises of Chapter 4. This could simply be a matter that I don't fully grok some of the nuance of the subject. Solving recursive relation is a deep subject. I have improved on it but my mathematical skills is still not good enough. That sets me to a position which I can't move on.
So I am thinking. I might want to skip both Chapter 4 and 5. They can be too mathematical (as well as tedious) for me at the moment. I can work on Chapter 6 directly and try to think if I can finish some exercises in Chapter 4 and 5. This will unstuck me and it's meaningless to get stuck for such a long time without moving along. Insight such as grokking the solution of T(n) = 2*T(n/2) +n is useful enough to move on.
I am also working on my cloud blog all the time. It's a lot of fun to write. When I have chance I will also expand it to support more languages and more topics. Should I do the same for "Self-Study" I don't know. After all, "Self-Study" is really just my diary. Making it to attract readers is a bit far-reaching for me.

This is my self-study page for the book, "Introduction to Algorithm", or commonly known as CLRS. This is also my diary page of how I struggle and grow in the programming world. I hope this blog can help amateurs or professionals, to improve their skills in programming, learning and living. As of Sep 12, 2011, I finished the "exercise read" of Chapter 2 (20110518) and 3 (20110608) and half of Chapter 4.
