Instructor: Dr. Michael Geiger

Summer 2012

 

Course Schedule

This schedule contains a tentative schedule of topics we will cover throughout the term; this schedule is subject to change. As the semester progresses, I will update the schedule to show the actual dates on which we cover material, as well as provide links to the lecture slides and assignments. Note that most lectures are associated with some section(s) of the textbook, which I suggest you read prior to class.
 

Please note that the exam dates are fixed—the first exam will be held on Friday, July 20 in class, the second exam will be held on Wednesday, August 1 in class, and the third exam will be held Monday, August 13 in class.
