The topics are linked to detailed weekly lecture plans below. The readings point into the on-line version of the text book.
You are primarily responsible for the readings. The lectures will help you understand those and will occasionally add highly pragmatic tips. But, the weekly homeworks and the exams will cover the reading material.
A semester tends to unfold in unpredictable ways, meaning the syllabus is subject to change. The most likely change concerns the last two weeks, which cover material that varies from semester to semester. Extra-credit homeworks, if any, will be based on this material.
Details
Homeworks are due Tuesdays at 9pm.
