Schedule

At the beginning and end of each class, I will announce sections of the textbook covered in each class and those due at the next class. An approximate schedule appears in Figure 1. Please use it only as a rough guide to plan your studies. Do not use it to schedule travel or other events. If you need a definite answer on when something will or will not occur, you should check with me.
