  2. Outline • Administrivia • Join Us! • What is this good for?

  3. Administrivia • Jeff says: • Final is “Evaluator and tree heavy” • Implies most other topics…. • Email me for office hours, more face2face for 7-2. • Class accounts will be open; Cardkeys will expire on the 12th (??) => we’ll put something on the webpage…

  4. Join the Dark Side! • If you did well in 61a (A- or above) and want to be on the staff?

  5. Join the Dark Side! • If you did well in 61a (A- or above) and want to be on the staff? • Don’t actually know something until you can answer questions about it! • Usual path: Lab assistant Reader TA • Fill in form outside 367 Soda before first week of semester… • If you did well in this course, I’ll write you a super recommendation

  6. Course Overview

  7. What is this good for? • CS 61b • Data Structures • Uses (and expands upon) Object Oriented, DDP, Trees.

  8. What is this good for? • CS 61c • Machine Structures • Shows you how much of 61a (and b) is done at the hardware level. • Uses frames (implemented in hardware), logic.

  9. What is this good for? • CS 162 • Compilers • Uses object oriented, DDP, evaluators, scoping, logic, trees(!),

  10. What is this good for? • CS 170/2/4 • Algorithms • Proving all the things I’ve hinted at (“lambda is all you need”, etc) • Expands on logic, proofs

  11. What is this good for? • CS 186 • Databases • A “simplified” logic language optimized for efficiency. • Expands on logic

  12. What is this good for? • But More Generally: • Unique 61a skills: • The search for elegance • The importance of tools • Problem abstraction • Simplification/Decomposition (One step at a time) • Deep logic

  13. What is this good for? • Why did we work you so hard? • Show you that computer science is not computer engineering! • One of the few courses (and only lower division cs) that will flex your mind… • Project classes => busywork/debugging • Topic classes => in-depth, but limited • So I can give you good grades!

  14. What is this good for? • Why did we work you so hard? • All your courses from here on out will be easy… • More time • But less thought. • Every one of you is MUCH smarter!

  15. Last Slide Ever Thank You and See You Around (Stay in Touch)
