Syllabus

This is an approximate schedule for the topics we'll cover; it is subject to minor changes and re-arranging. I'll try to keep this page accurate after the fact; if you notice a discrepancy between syllabus past and what was actually discussed, let me know. If you miss a class, it is of course your responsibility to find out what announcements were made. Homeworks [yet to be listed] are considered finalized the Monday before the first part is due; they tend to have only small changes, so working ahead is fine.
