Some Notes from the Author

The following notes are meant to answer some questions you might have about the course.

How advanced is "advanced"

When we gave it the name Advanced Course, what we meant was that it was to be more advanced than the first two. An engineer who builds Beowulf clusters will probably not find it that advanced, but if you're not familiar with the material in the first two courses, as we mentioned above, then you'll most likely find this one too advanced.
