Class Notes for CS 442 Spring 2024

These are copies of the lecture notes that I prepare before class, ( as opposed to scribbles, which I create in class on the fly ), for whatever they are worth. They are by definition sketchy and incomplete, and I won't always follow them exactly once I get to class. Some days I may not even have any notes prepared. So they are in no way a substitute for coming to class and taking your own notes. Also, the dates listed are the dates when I wrote the notes, which is not necessarily when I delivered them in class.

All of the following are posted to Blackboard unless a separate link is specifically provided here.

Here they are, in reverse chronological order:
