| Course number | 15-388 (undergraduate) / 15-688 (masters) (Both courses will have the same lectures, but on each assignment there will be additional advanced problems for the 600 level course.) | | Course location/time | Rashid Auditorium (GHC 4401), MW 3:00-4:20 | | Units | 9 (15-388), 12 (15-688) | | Prequisites | Programming experience is necessary for the course (assignments are in Python). For undegraduates, either 15-112 or 15-122 is required.
