Schedule


It is my goal to cover approximately one section per "new material" day (Three per week). We will be doing the first four sections of chapter 10 and all of chapters 12-16. At this pace, there is approximately one week of 'wiggle room' in the semester, which we can use to cover some of the more difficult topics at a slower or deeper level. I will update this site with the material covered each week in the course.

Important Dates: Fall Break: October 10, no class
