Syllabus
The syllabus for CS193P is preliminary and is subject to change, especially the last few weeks where we will be working on a final project and have some freedom regarding what topics we cover in lecture. We want to hear from the students about what topics might be of particular interest and will tailor the last few weeks to satisfy those interests.
