* Dates with an asterisk next to them represent those days that I will not be in town. On these dates I will make appropriate arrangements for the lecture. These will likely entail make-up lectures, possibly in the evenings.

This term we will be using Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates, the TA, and myself. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff, I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza.
