Pointers to my lecture notes (in HTML) and the order I intend to present them
in are given below. It is entirely likely that this schedule, like all
good schedules, may slip. Your mileage may vary.
Many of the lectures will refer to programming
examples. The source code for each example we be linked to the
notes themselves. I enthusiastically encourage you compile, execute,
and experiment with
the examples as you enjoy the other festivities provided by the class.
You will find all of the course materials under
/cs/faculty/rich/public_html/class/cs170, including source code and
makefiles. The principle platform of choice for this
course will be Linux and I will use the machines in the CSIL
as a test platform.
