General Information Syllabus HW Assignments

Syllabus

The following is a tentative syllabus for the course. This page will be updated irregularly.
On the other hand, the weekly syllabus contained in the Homework Assignments page should always be accurate, if incomplete.

Class will not meet on every day listed here. During most weeks we will meet three times; often we will not meet on Wednesday, but instead will meet during the x-hour on Thursday. Each week's schedule will be set by the end of the preceding week. For the first week, we will meet on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as indicated.
