Links to Notes, Suggested Readings, Approximate Schedule

Suggested readings should be completed before the day's lecture. There is a lot of material in this course; you will get more out of the lecture if you complete the readings before the lecture.

I will sometimes cover a topic in more detail than the textbook.
You will be responsible for all such additional material presented in the lectures.
The summary material on the posted slides will help.
Hearing the discussion on the material in the lecture will be the most reliable way to assure you don't miss anything important.

An approximate schedule is outlined below, some topics may be given more or less time than indicated below

Links to copies of some of the slides used in the next lecture will activated not later than 5pm the day preceding the lecture.

In some cases slides for more than one lecture may be posted as a single unit
