Fall 2015

For powerpoint slides of lectures, you can goto: http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~czou/CDA6530-15/ppt/ to download the corresponding ppt files. Some math notations may not be correctly displayed due to texPoint the instructor used to type those math notations.

The "written notes" are what the instructor writes on tablet PC whiteboard in each class.
