COURSE SCHEDULE: A tentative class schedule is given below. It would be a good idea to give the relevant textbook sections a quick reading before each class and a careful one afterwards. In classes, we will have time to introduce and illustrate only the main points. You should expect that most of your understanding will come through reading the textbook, working on homework problems, and lots of practice. You are very much welcome to my office (WT 304B) when you have any questions.
