Reading list for class on September 6, 2018
There are no required reading material for this class. We will however maintain a list of recommended readings for each lecture (whenever applicable) to further help you understand and explore the concepts. The terminology we use for these readings is as follows:
- Recommended reading: Reading material that is directly relevant to the class notes and can help you understand and remember things from class.
- Secondary reading: Reading material that is relevant to the class notes but goes beyond what was explained in the lectures, provides more examples, and explores different but related topics.
