Schedule

Here’s an outline. It’s subject to change. There are up to three kinds of link each week.

  • Content (): These pages contain links to the readings and other material for each week. Read these before class. Lecture slide decks will also appear on these pages.

  • Example (): These pages contain annotated code and other supplementary information that you can use as a reference. It is also where any impromptu stuff we do in class will end up.

  • Assignment (): These pages contain the instructions for each problem set. Except in the first week, assignments from a Monday class are due by 6pm the following Friday.
