This page is for a prior offering of CS 3330. It is not up-to-date.
This schedule is approximate. We will likely spend extra time on a topic here or there and do others more rapidly than expected, adjusting the schedule as we go.
All sectons marked with the section symbol §

We will not change the dates of exams without at least 2 weeks notice.
