Fork this repo
-
The topics of each week's lectures are described in the syllabus PDF
-
Lectures are in directories named XY/ where XY/ is the number of the week
-
Homework assignments are similarly in the homework/ directory - there are instructions in there for submitting your work
-
Solutions to homework assignments will be posted over the weekend after the Friday they were due
-
Various help cheat sheets are included in help/.
-
You should also review in-class notebooks and homework solutions to make sure you understand what is happening
-
The lecture notebooks have in-class exercises for you to work on
If you are working on a fork of the repo, and pull request to commit homework
solutions, the problem is that git will pick up any other changes that you
comitted, including to the in-class exercises. The solution is to work on your
homework in the master branch of your forked repo, but keep a separate
branch of the repo for in-class exercises. I'd name the branch something like
your FirstName_LastName as with your homework. See the update.sh script for
keeping your master branch up-to-date. The procedure is similar for any other
branch - just git checkout <BranchName> first.
