Syllabus

The following is a tentative syllabus for the course. In particular, the choice and ordering of topics beyond Chapter 3 is not set in stone. This page will be updated irregularly.
On the other hand, the weekly syllabus contained in the Homework Assignments page will always be accurate.

The Documents page has links to the questionnaire assigned on Monday, January 6, as well as the notes we used in class.
