This is the schedule for CSCI1320 during Fall 2003. The table
below lists what we will be discussing in each class meeting as well as the
required readings and the due dates for assignments, quiz dates, and test
dates. Early in the semester the lectures will be split between topics in
data structures and the C++ programming language. After you have a grasp of
C++ we will focus completely on the data structure topics.
