Meetings, Readings, and Assignments
(Syllabus)
Readings prefaced with "(ACM)" will be found on the ACM's Digital Library. You will be able to access these readings from the binder I have set up for this course once I have entered your ACM identity into the list of those with permission to access my bookshelf.
This document will almost certainly be revised at least once during the semester. Changes will be announced in class. You are responsible for keeping up.
