Math 53 Calendar -- Summer '06.

This is my current best guess as to what we'll be doing when over the summer.  For some days, the lecture topic is empty: these are included to give us space to catch up if we fall behind.  If we don't fall behind, I'll either use them to review, or to look at some applications of the material we're learning.  Homework is listed on the day it's due, you should attempt the exercises from each section as soon as I've finished lecturing on that section.
