+This section was pretty interesting. I liked how they introduced a novel concept by straight up diving into an example and explaining things using the example. I had no trouble following the section in class, but even then it was really well-explained in the book. 8/10.

+There wasn't really much to this section. It was pretty much just an iterative version of the recursive solution to the problem in 6.1, followed by a general template for dynamic programming solutions. Not the most interesting section--5/10.
 ===== 6.3 Segmented Least Squares: Multi-way Choices =====

 ==== 6.3.2 Comments ====
+One of the more difficult problems to follow, in my opinion. I feel like part of the reason behind that was that it was all theoretical, and hence, difficult to explain. I struggled following it in class initially, as did most other people I believe. I eventually got comfortable with the problem, and the reading cemented that understanding. I feel like I have seen a similar problem before, I just don't remember where. In any case, it was an interesting, albeit difficult, section--7/10.
