CS Refresher Courses, Fall 2011

The refresher course is a series of informal sessions taught by current graduate students in the department to help new students get quickly up to speed with their research and course work. Note that the refresher series assumes familiarity with the topic. These sessions are not meant to teach anything from scratch, but to give a quick overview and also provide a set of tools and resources to get students started on their own.

Updates:

- Friday, 7th Oct: Slides uploaded. Thanks to all the presenters.
- Sunday, 25th Sept: Slides uploaded for the Algorithms, Probability, and Proofs/Analysis sessions. 

- Wednesday, 14th Sept: Slides uploaded for the Latex and Matlab sessions.

- Friday, 9th Sept: Added a new session on Latex.
