There are no official texts for the course. As background, we suggest several texts:
Your final grade for the course will be based on the following weights:
The quizzes will be in-class, one near midterm and one near the end of the semester.
The project in 15-744 is an open-ended research project, done in groups of two. The project requires a proposal, a project status report, and a final report (both written and presented).
There will be a few problem sets assigned during the term that will constitute 25% of your grade. Problem sets will be a mix of theory and hands-on programming assignments.
