M3: Syntax Analysis 
========================================
This third modules provides an overview of the syntax analysis component of a compiler. We discuss how one implements this component by hand or using an auto generated tool. 


Pre-recorded Lectures
---------------------
**Note: Professor Samuels will state on Ed when the prerecorded videos are ready to be viewed each week for a module.**
