Work in progress: Chris Piech has been putting together his notes into a course reader format. He is in the early stages of the project so you are looking at a rough draft. You are not responsible for material covered in the course reader that is not in the lectures/lecture notes. However, you are responsible for material in the lecture notes that is not in the course reader draft.

NOTE: You should be using the lecture notes for this course, listed on the front page. The below course reader is provided as a preview of what topics are to come, in case you are interested.
