Note about sample code: Any sample code should be viewed as hints and suggestions about how to accomplish various portions of the projects, which are possibly in languages that you are not using, and are in no way meant to be frameworks which you can use to fill in. This is particularly important in the case that project requirements have changed over time and previous sample code might not meet those requirements. You are responsible to meet all project requirements, independent of sample code or other assistance, such as AI.

Note about lectures: The lecture content varies slightly each semester, but below are some lecture notes formed over the past decade, and also some videos of lectures done starting on March 9, 2020. If you want to look up formulas (for example, of the Bernstein polynomials of degree greater than 2, which I will also give in class in the first week) these are all easy to find in these notes.
