Course Listing
The below table shows the full set of courses I've taught at all the universities with which I have been associated. Clicking on the course number gives you the most recent instantiation of that course, while clicking on the Year/Term gives you the pages for that exact instantiation. Note that many of these will be unavailable, as I prevent students from seeing the upcoming homeworks by looking at previous courses.
Courses are taught at the University of Arizona, unless specified otherwise.

References for courses
C++
Believe it or not, I get lots of questions about what a good C++ book is. Here are two I recommend
- C++: Effective Object-Oriented Software Construction: Concepts, Practices, Industrial Strategies and Practices (2nd Edition), by Kayshav Dattatri. I recommend this book for students who know C and/or Java and would like to learn what C++ does, and how to think about OO topics in C++.
- C++ Primer, by Lippman. I recommend this book as a reference, not for learning about Object-Oriented C++ .
