We will use a standard set of course slides that have been used by previous instructors. Rather than slightly edit my own version (yes I am lazy! :-) here for your reference is James T. Yu's Winter 2008 TDC 363 class page. If that page goes away I have a mirror I will put online. Note, besides the obvious differences in schedule, grading and general course policies some material I do not care for. Most of it is technically reliable, but there may be some technical inaccuracies and areas of interest I consider less or more important. In lecture I will highlight any significant discrepancies in the slides we cover. Take good notes!
