material, though the presentation in lecture will expand on certain
portions beyond the textbook's treatment. The order is:  Ch 1, 2, 3, 4.1-3, Ch 7, Ch 4.4-7, Ch 5, 6

·         Academic Dishonesty Policy

Lecture Notes:

"It is strongly recommended that you keep up with the reading and
read the relevant chapter before attending lecture. This way,
you will benefit most from the added intuition and emphasis given in
lecture. After lecture, you are strongly encouraged to try your hand at
every problem at the end of the chapter and come to office hours if you
can not solve any of them. Learning probability well is a matter of
practice --- doing the assigned homeworks alone will not guarantee that
you will learn the material well enough to perform in an exam situation.
Finally, you are encouraged to form study groups and to try and stump
each other with questions of your own devising."
