Schedule

Outlined below is the schedule for the course, including lecture topics and assignment due dates. All assignments are due at 11:59PM on the date specified. The specific dates of different topics are subject to change based on the pace at which we go through the course.

The assigned textbook for the course covers most of the topics we will go over in the class, but I will sometimes add external links to other resources if I feel the textbook is lacking in a particular area, or if there is a fun application for you to play with beyond what's offered in the textbook.
