Ensure you have all of the "standard" material: MCS 825 Module, rev 0197, and the 4 required texts (Formal Languages and Automata along with the 3 MCS 810 texts). You will be using various systems environments provided at CUW (so you don't need to locate these resources on your own!).
 
Corrections to MCS 825 Module:
Assignment #2 should state "Read chapter 14 in Great Ideas in Computer Science ... Read exercises 1, 2, and 3 on page 434 ..."

BTW, the burks on-line CD collection has a number of useful CS tools. Visit their site at http://burks.bton.ac.uk

PRIOR TO AUGUST 23 (prior to arriving on campus)

Complete the following assignments:

Assignment #2 - Chapter 15 in Great Ideas in Computer Science
Assignment #3 - Chapter 11 in Computer Science: An Overview
Assignment #4 - Solve only one problem from those listed in The New Turing Omnibus
Assignment #5 - Chapter 1 in Formal Languages and Automata

Thoroughly read chapters 1-5, 9, and 12 in the primary text  Formal Languages and Automata

Complete as much of Unit II as needed .... assignments done before arriving on campus mean more free
time in the evening :-)  I'd suggest looking at each problem in Unit II and outlining a solution which can then be
expanded after class discussion.
