Use this schedule to plan your reading and studying. Do not put too much emphasis on the dates, as they may change with our progress. The topic sequence should be reliable.
Readings are keyed to new and old textbooks. SH = Seade & Henley (1st ed.), MSH = McCabe, Smith, and Harriott (7th Ed.), W = Wankat (2nd ed.). Links are provided when lecture notes may be found on the web.
