Advice
We here are not likely to run away with the foolish notion, that lectures can teach us a science without careful study of our own. They can but excite us to begin to work for ourselves: possibly they may assist our efforts; they can in now way supersede them.

How to Ask Questions/Report Problems
If you have a question or want to report a problem, please send
email to cs173tas
at the domain cs.brown.edu
.
If we think your question is of general interest, we will reply to the
mailing list; otherwise, we'll reply to you directly. When we reply to
the group, we will attribute the question to you if and only if we think
you should get credit for it. This makes it easy for you to ask "dumb"
questions (which you should ask, because you're almost certainly not the
only person who has that question in mind).
