Syllabus
Class meetings are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 11:00-12:15 in room 1257 Computer Sciences. The class is “overscheduled”: we will cancel roughly 1/3 of the class meetings (to have 30 total).
The schedule of topics more than 2 weeks in advance is speculative. The major deadlines for assignments is unlikely to change much.
