340 COURSE TIMETABLE.

This is our best guess at what we shall be doing when throughout the course. We live in a world of change, but something quite like this happened last year, and we expect that it should happen this year too.

Anyone who's watching will observe one or two slight changes; we think we've improved the treatment a bit around the low-level discussion where processes, processors, and memory come together. Whether we're right or not time will tell.

"What, then, is it that you would seek in a university ? Lectures ? These, whether public or private, are surely the very worst modes of acquiring any sort of accurate knowledge."

( Thomas de Quincey : Letters to a young man. )
