• The dates for the discussion sessions are the same as the dates for the lectures. Homework is due in discussion sessions on the dates listed. Quizzes take place in discussion sessions on the dates listed.
• Topics listed for a given lecture may be covered in the previous or subsequent lecture.
• The entry for each lecture lists the relevant sections of the book; it is best to read these before the lecture if possible. (For Part 1 and Part 2, the book is Lay; the Part 3, the book is Nagle et al.)
• Reading sections of the book that do not appear below is optional. Some of these (e.g. Lay 1.6) are not covered in the course, while others (e.g. Lay 2.6) discuss material which is redundant and covered elsewhere in the course.
• Quizzes will emphasize the sections listed but may review earlier material as needed.
• For extra practice, the supplementary exercises / review problems at the end of each chapter are highly recommended.
