CPSC 457 - Lecture 2 Schedule (Tentative)

Fall 2004

Given the course material and the time, this is where I expect we will be focusing our attention on the given days. This schedule is only meant to be a rough outline of the topics covered and their relative location within the course. I expect that this schedule will change as we progress through the course material.
