Some Important Remarks:
* Due
to the amount of material to be
covered in this course the pace might be fast at times.
And since later sections depend on ideas covered
earlier, it is important not to fall behind.
* You are expected to read the sections we
will be covering in lecture
before/after you come to class. We
will not have time to cover all the examples from the text, but you are
still expected to read the
whole section yourself and be familiar with it. You are
always welcome to discuss the material with me.
* Please let me know in advance of any special circumstances which
may prevent you from attending classes.
* Help each other out and discuss
di�fficulties, but do your own work (!).
