<p>We have provided a lot of extra information to make the book more useful to you! As a reminder, the textbook by O’Reilly is available for free from the Brandeis Library: <a href="https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/programming-robots-with/9781449325480/ch01.html">Programming Robots with ROS</a> In this course we refer to it as PRR.</p>

<h3 id="here-are-the-resources">Here are the resources:</h3>

<ol>
  <li>For each chapter I have provided one or two pages of commentary to clarify or supplement the chapter. They are listed below.</li>
  <li>All the programs that are listed in the book are available to you inside your cluster account. These are corrected for our ROS distro “noetic”. Save yourself a lot of time by using those. You can find them here:
 <strong><code>~/catkin_ws/src/cosi119_src</code></strong></li>
