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 (Spring 2003). 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.
