"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!" -Edsger Dijkstra

Welcome to the 1711 Wiki. A Wiki is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information.

You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link and you can add a definition.

Before you can access most of the content of the wiki you'll need to create an account and log in. To do this click on user preferences above. Your wikiname is listed in the subject roll. Make up your own password.

Don't log in as anyone else, and don't change pages written by richard. Otherwise explore and experiment!

To get a general overview over this site and what it contains, see the SiteNavigation page. The most useful way of finding lecture notes is the links on the subject schedule.
