This outline shows what was/will be covered in each lecture, as well as exam dates and similar information. It is still tentative and based on what happened last term.

Before each lecture, you are expected to do the posted reading assignment from the textbook. Please check the errata file for typos; report any new ones to Margaret (mfleck@illinois.edu). The corresponding Moodle quiz is due at 1am during the night before the lecture. You may also wish to read the corresponding sections in the optional Rosen textbook.
