This is my best-guess schedule as of September 21, 2003.
This is the first time I am teaching this course, so
it is likely that the schedule will change in detail.
Students are responsible
for changes announced in class.
Please note that the mid-term examination is scheduled
for Monday, October 27.
I expect that the examination will
have two parts.
There will be two problems which you will work on during the
class period and there will be two problems you will work
on at home.
I have not yet decided whether the take-home problems will be
given in advance and due at the beginning of the in-class session,
or whether they will given after the in-class session.
