CSC 161 Calendar

  • Please complete all reading assignments before the dates indicated. Be sure to ask about anything that you do not understand about a reading assignment at the start of the class covering it.
  • "MUM" refers to the "Maple 2019 User Manual", "XL" refers to the Excel Math Guide, "TI84" refers to the "TI-84 Plus Guidebook", "FPP" refers to "Fundamentals of Python Programming" (available on Moodle), and "ItG" refers to "Introduction to GeoGebra".
  • Please check the calendar frequently as dates may shift. For example, this could happen if a topic which is planned for 1 day actually takes 2 days, or vice-versa.
