Note: You are looking at a static copy of the former PineWiki site, used for class notes by James Aspnes from 2003 to 2012. Many mathematical formulas are broken, and there are likely to be other bugs as well. These will most likely not be fixed. You may be able to find more up-to-date versions of some of these notes at http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/aspnes/#classes.

Go here instead: http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/aspnes/classes/465/notes.pdf.

Most information for CS 465/565: Theory of Distributed Computing, including assignments, staff information, and the lecture schedule, can be found in the course notes.

Web pages for older versions of the course can be found at CS425 (Spring 2010), CS425/2008 (Spring 2008), and CS425/2005 (Spring 2005). These may be subtly broken in various ways. See also CS425/Notes for old lecture notes; most of these will eventually show up in the giant PDF file, but there may be a few topics from past years that we won't cover.

1. Calendar
