The text is optional. You
do not have to buy it
(I would if I was taking the course because alternate points of view
and additional examples and problems are very useful when learning
any technical subject). Our required reading is in the form of online
notes which will be provided as the subject material they cover
approaches. These notes will also contain most of our homework
problems.
People, Schedule, Guidelines, Synopses, Policies.
