The A and B lectures of this course will be operating semi-independently (though doing quite similar things). So each lecture has its own web page, plus there is a web page for folks doing the CS 196 honors add-on to this course.

At this point, everyone should be registered or (at worst) attending the class while working through the last few technical details of getting registered.
The main textbook is online. Two items will be available for purchase at the Union Bookstore:
The lab notebook is so that you can submit work during discussion sections, but also retain a copy for later studying. We believe this is most easily done using a carbonless duplicate lab notebook and we've selected one convenient model to put on the shelves at the Union Bookstore. However, it's ok to use other methods of quickly making a duplicate copy, such as your cell phone camera (if its pictures are good enough for you), a different model of duplicate lab notebook, loose carbonless duplicate sheets, the rest of a half-used chemistry notebook, etc. Those of you with photographic memories can simply turn in your only copy of the work.
If you have taken previous proof-based math courses, you may wish to attempt the proficiency exam. For more information, see the CS Proficiency Exams page.
If your background is strong and your schedule is not very full, you may wish to do the Honors Add-on. You can add this after classes start.
