The plan for the classes is listed below. It will be updated as the semester goes along, so please check it regularly. (Sometimes the schedule needs to be readjusted because topics take longer to cover than I anticipate, or because of snow days or other emergencies.) You are responsible for reading the book as well as for going to class. Generally speaking, you should read each section of the book at least twice, once just before it is covered in class, and once immediately afterwards.
Note that we are covering Ch. 6-10 of [EG], except for a few sections: 6.6, 8.5, and much of 10.3-10.5.
Since the class is small, we will experiment with a number of class formats (aside from traditional lectures), including group work, discussions, and having students work problems at the board. I hope to get to know all of you individually. There will usually be a quiz once a week, based on the suggested [EG] problems. The lowest few quiz scores will be dropped, to avoid the necessity of worrying about makeup quizzes.
