Syllabus and Course Schedule

 

This syllabus is subject to CHANGE. Any changes will be announced in class and on this course web page as the semester progresses. The schedule is for MWF sections, but as it is meant to be only approximate, it gives a good enough idea of when various topics will be covered in the T-Th sections as well.
