Lecture and Exam Schedule

Below is the lecture number, followed by the date of that lecture, followed by the relevant sections of the textbook, followed by the topic.  The midterm and final also appear in the schedule.

Lectures will basically follow the textbook, and you won't be responsible for anything not in the textbook, but I will certainly put my own spin on the material  --- in particular, I will emphasize certain topics more than others in lecture, and you can expect these to be the topics that will be tested.

Please note that topics listed for a given lecture may be covered in the previous or subsequent lecture.  For extra practice, the review problems at the ends of the chapters are highly recommended.

Finally, note that I might sometimes bring up things in lecture that are not on this list, but you won't be tested on anything not on this list.
