The scheduling below is subject to change; it should be regarded as tentative for more than a week in advance at the time of viewing.

Note: links to a lecture's slides will work when they are ready (which should be by 24 hrs before the lecture). Last year's lecture slides will serve as a guide if you would like to see the material earlier.
Audio recordings of lectures are available from COMP2300 WebCT. Note that PDF versions of the slides have embedded hyperlinks to locally referenced ( files (e.g. C source files) and web links.
