• Per the announcement in class on 04-Feb, The lectures, reading, and homework assignments for the weeks of 02-06 Feb and 09-13 Feb have been switched from their original order. I have updated all on-line material to reflect this switch, so please be informed and adopt the revised class schedule. Note that this resulted in the order of HW 2 and HW 3 to be switched. So HW 3 is to due before HW 2 is due.

• OKeeDOKee. All homework assignments are up-to-date and ready to go. You can download at will and get to work; however, as stated in class- it is highly recommended that you print out and complete the homework assignments one at a time as they are assigned.
• I have made a minor modification to the lecture schedule. I have moved the date of Exam 3 from Monday April 20 to Monday April 13 (following "Good Friday"). This is to reduce the amount of lecture material that will be on that exam.

15-Jan09

• I am still finalizing the homeworks and the homework schedule. Do not yet print out any homeowrk assignments or work on them until I announce in class (and here) that is it ok to do so...
