about further reading

[Helen]

I want to know that the further reading is required or optional? is it related to homework or exam?

It seems that some readings are for the part in "red color". Can I also understand the importance of this reading list based on the "color coding rule"?

Hi Helen,

As explained in lecture 1 on the first set of green slides:

Red - regular stuff (I picked red as default for the CMU red)

Yellow - more important

Green - typically key algorithms

Further reading is just in case you want to know more than what we covered in the class. Note that red doesn't mean that you won't need to know it in the exam. But green is usually key stuff and red is more of an explanation. I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Alex
