Class Schedule

This is a loose schedule for the class. This page lists material that will be covered by class, and tentative exam and assignment due dates. This schedule is likely to change as the term progresses, so please check back regularly.

Both sections will be taught independently, but will follow each other closely. Exams will be consistent for both classes.
