As our textbook we will use Prof. Lyle McGeoch's textbook. It happens to be a work-in-progress, and so you will obtain the text by downloading it, one chapter at a time, in PDF format.
Because we do not want this book yet to be broadly available, its access is restricted. You must first login if you are off-campus, where the username and password are available on request. Then you can get to the text itself.
Note that each reading should be completed before the lecture or lab on the given date. You are responsible for all material in the readings.
For 2005-Sep-12: Optionally read chapter 1 -- it provides some interesting background. Read chapter 2, up to and including section 2.6.
