(I am giving the McKay lecture.) I just found out about the conflicts a few minutes ago. I will rework the schedule in the vicinity of Feb 9. Thanks!

I am pleased to announce that a preliminary syllabus is available. You can find it at http://byuh.doncolton.com/cs440/2121/syl.pdf (It is cs440 instead of cs490r because 490r covers a lot of classes, and this particular class used to be called cs440. I have not bothered to change it.) I also wrote a study guide for the class. You can download it from http://byuh.doncolton.com/cs440/2121/cs440.pdf It basically hits on the things that will affect your grade. It is 73 pages. It would be great if you could reply to me with two pieces of information. (a) I have your preferred name as "xxxxx". Please let me know if that is the name I should use for you, and if not please let me know the name you would prefer. (b) Please indicate whether you are willing to be called upon to say a prayer in class. I generally do this by assignment, and since there are eight people in the class, each person that is willing is usually called upon about once a month. I look forward to meeting you and having a great semester together! Thanks! Bro Colton P.S. You will probably get more of these emails from me. They will generally have CS 490R at the start of the subject line. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # end
