This web page exists for purposes of gathering together information related to the course, prior to the availability of our Blackboard site.  Eventually this information may be migrated to Blackboard (or linked from there).

1.  Announcements

(1/10/09)  Some minor corrections to the slides for the first lecture have been posted.

(1/10/09)  The originally-posted version of the course schedule (also distributed in class on Fri. 1/9) accidentally put Spring Break week in the wrong month (Feb. instead of Mar.).  The new version linked below has been corrected.

2.  Syllabus

A draft syllabus for the course is available here.

3.  Course Schedule

A tentative schedule for the course is available here.
