A PDF version of the textbook is also available here.
You will be asked to log in with your CNetID before you can see the textbook.
Please note that the pre-recorded lectures cover largely the same material as the book. We recommend starting with the pre-recorded lectures, and then reading through the book (but do not feel bad if you find yourself skipping large portions of the textbook, if you feel they tread on material that you already understood when watching the lectures)

Lab¶
This lab is divided into two parts. We will be working through the first part in the October 28th lecture, and through the second part in the November 4th lecture. You are not expected to complete the lab before that lecture, but you should try to read through it so you are familiar with its contents.
