Overview: Our implementations will generally be "ahead" of the chapters listed below in the calendar. In class I will describe what you need to look for in the chapters we haven't gotten to. But the importance of the chapter listings below is that those will be the times when the material is discussed in the most depth, even if we have used various ideas from the chapters in earlier implementation work.
