CS 3451 Schedule
Schedule
The schedule will very likely change, but it represents the current best estimate of what topics will be covered and when. The MIDTERM will happen the OCt 19th. It may moved if need be.
We will update it here and post announcements on canvas when things change.
Required readings are in bold. The readings are in the table on the Reading List page, which has the appropriate sections in the Second, Third and Fourth Editions of the textbook.
Any reading in parenthesis are recommended, and you should at least skim them to be familiar with them at a high level (in case you need that material to understand future chapters, or for an assignment).
