The lab assignments originated with me (JN), but Wilbert Heeringa
added a lot (ca. 2000-2002). Mik van Es revised them, adding
questions to link the labs to the theoretical material better (2008).
Tamás Bíró took a further pass, also making
substantial improvements.

Material (in English). This site traces the different examples in
the Moore and McCabe textbook through with various calculations and
graphics. Helps in understanding the material.
