CSci 370

Schedule of lectures and readings
This is a tentative schedule of lectures and readings, and is likely to
change as we progress through the semester. I will try and keep exam dates
fixed (and will provide adequate notice of changes in exam dates), but all else
is subject to change. The date and time of the final exam is, of course,
set by the University and is not subject to change.
