SCHEDULE OF LECTURES

Here is a tentative list of lectures and the slides used in class. Students are fully responsible for all material presented in lectures, even if some of it does not appear in these notes. These notes are intended for the lecture presentations; for reference, use the corresponding chapters in Algorithms in Java, Parts 1-5, 3rd edition and the online handouts. An effective strategy is to look over the indicated chapter before the lecture, then read it in detail soon afterwards.
