COMP 212: Functional Programming

Schedule of Lectures

Guide to materials:

You should be able to do the homeworks using only the material covered in lecture (and the live boards) and labs. You may want to use the readings and Spring 2021 videos as supplementary materials, but note that these notes/videos may cover additonal material that we won't cover this semester, and they may be out of synch with the order we cover things in this semester, and you are not responsible for this extra material.
