The course calendar is always subject to change. Please revisit it often.
This schedule includes lecture topics, assigned readings, exam dates,
homework due dates, and project due dates. Lecture topics initially link
to lecture slides from the previous quarter. This quarter's slides
will be similar. Updated slides will be posted sometime after the
lecture topic is complete. Please read the assigned reading prior
to attending class for that day.
