Important announcements and changes to this page will be noted here. Please check back regularly!
The dates of the midterm exams and assignment deadlines will be added to this list as the course develops.
Slides from the lectures are posted below, usually just before class.
I will continue to update the slides for each stage of the course until we are
done with that stage.
