Jeff's CS 374 was one of my favorite classes at U of I. It really opened up my mind to thinking about Computer Science as a branch of mathematics, and completely changed how I approach my work today.
The book form of these lectures was in EARLY rough draft when I took the class though-we were proofing chapters for him!
