The course lectures are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in 120 TMCB from 14:00h-14:50h for the Winter 2017 semester.

Some of the lecture content is in a [http://git.or.cz/ GIT] repository which you are welcome to clone.  The repository is located on the [http://cs.byu.edu/help CS Open Lab] under the ''egm'' account: ''~egm/public-git/cs686/lectures''.  You must use [http://git.or.cz/ GIT] to clone the repository as well as to get updates and revisions throughout the  semester.  The [http://git.or.cz/ GIT] clone can be done as:

 $ git clone ssh://<user>@schizo.cs.byu.edu/~egm/public-git/cs686/lectures
   Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/egm/tmp/lectures/.git/

Please note that '''<user>''' should be your user name for the CS system.  Also, some versions of [http://git.or.cz/ GIT] do not like the '''~'''-expansion so you might need to include the full path to my home directory (/users/faculty/egm/public-git/cs431/lectures).
