Because I am disgusted by textbook prices, we will not have any text book this semester. Check the lecture notes instead.

Class Goals

The following are the goals that I have set for teaching this class -- they represent what I'd like you all to get out of the class. When the semester is over, go over this list, and see how well these goals were met. If you feel like it, send me email with comments -- it's more useful after the semester than in the middle of it, I think.

To learn object-oriented programming C++ with the STL.
To understand fundamental algorithms
To understand basic algorithm analysis.
