C Language
----------

  Program structure: being able to see what a small C program does and outputs;
     contol flow, basic data types, arrays, and strings. 

  Pointers: (to the extent of K&R, Chapters 5 and 6; and King, Chapters 11, 
     12, 13, and 16). 
     More specifically, read the following sections in K&R: 5.1 - 5.8 (i.e. 
     5.1 through 5.8), 5.11, and 5.12; 6.1 - 6.4, 6.7, and 6.8. 

  Input/Output:  K&R, 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5. 


Numerical methods
-----------------
  
  Errors: remember their use in Assignment 1 and similar contexs.

  Number representations

  Floating point numbers: floating point arithmetic with (+), (-), 
     (*), and (/).

  Read: 

      1.Donald Knuth, The art of Computer Programming; Vol. 2: 
        Semi-Numerical Algorithms, Section 4.2.1 - 4.2.3 
      2.Appropriate section in the official CSC270 Readings 

  As for the 3 sections in Knuth, here is what is NOT required: 

     - Algorithm N on pages 183-184
     - Program A on pages 185-186
     - Program M on pages 187-188
     - Everything on pages 188-194.
     - Sections A and B in 4.2.2
     - Program A on pages 212-213
     - Program M on pages 214-215
