Notes for MIT's CS 6.042 course, by Eric Lehman and Tom Leighton, 2004
Also recommended:
- Our text is based on notes for MIT course 6.042 - you can view its last semester's page and/or courseware from previous years
- CMU has a very nice course, from which I also plan to borrow: Great Theoretical Ideas in Computer Science
- Also, I highly recommend Computer Science Unplugged (browse the site, esp its available section). This material is suitable even for children, do not be put off by this, rather try it on your younger siblings (or non-CS friends) - there is no better way to understand any material than trying to teach it to others.
The class home page: http://www.cs.bu.edu/~itkis/113.
I will send some announcements by email to the class list. Please sign up by following instructions at "Mailing List" link on the left. I encourage you to ask questions and discuss the relevant subjects on this mailing list (both me and TF will monitor the list and provide the answers/corrections).
