The assigned readings listed below are meant to provide you reinforcement and a reference for the material discussed in lectures and used for projects. The textbook that we will use for this purpose is Bryant and O'Hallaron's, Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (3rd edition). You can find it new, used, and for rent on Amazon and the like. Do note that we will cover material that is not in the textbook: it is a good supplement, but not a replacement for attendance and good notes.
