This page contains an outline of the topics, content, and assignments for the semester. Note that this schedule will be updated as the semester progresses.
Meetups will be recorded and made available the next day on the course website. Although attending live is not strictly required, I expect everyone to watch the lectures during the week. I use the class meetups to convey important information and announcements. Very often I will cover some topics not in the textbook. Students who attend the meetups tend to do well on the assignments.
