Lecture Synopses

Stern Warning

These notes are intended to supplement your own lecture notes. They are not a substitute for attending class. Heck, they are not even a substitute for borrowing your friends' notes. They do, however, contain all the C programs that were displayed on the overhead transparencies, so you don't have to jot them down like mad.

Also, since you must know: Yes, we do make fun of you behind your back when you miss lecture.
