Reading Assignments for CPSC 323a
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note:  The on-line version of Matthew and Stones is not paginated.  For those
using it, I have annotated each reading with the chapter and section(s) (and
in some cases subsection(s)) in which those pages are contained.

Thus to reach the reading, click on the title of the chapter in the list of
links, which inserts a list of sections immediately under the title.  If no
subsection is specified below, read the entire page.  Otherwise just scroll
down to the subsection and read to the end of it.
