Schedule
This table specifies when we cover given topics. The week numbers in the first column are links connecting
this page to the homework that you will be working on for the corresponding week. The third column lists the pages in the text that cover the lecture material. The Mon/Wed columns list the lecture dates, and the Thu column lists the lab dates, for each week.
We will not have class on Wed, Sept 30th and there will be an assignment in lieu of a lab. The schedule is complete through the first exam, but expect to consult it regularly because it is subject to change.
