Tentative Lecture Schedule
Fall 2010
This schedule is
"TENTATIVE", that is, it is subject to change. I will alert
you to changes as they occur. You are responsible for the material in
the text (section numbers are shown calendar
below), and the material covered in lecture. It will be to your
advantage to read the material in the Text before we cover it
in class, and again after we cover it.
