Assignments
All assignments and solutions will be made available on Blackboard.
Lecture Notes
Lecture notes will
also be posted on Blackboard. Typically, the lecture notes will be posted
a few weeks before the material is presented in class. In
some cases, however, the notes will be updated "just in time".
Therefore, it is best not to print the notes more than one week ahead of
time.
The notes
on the web are only a supplement to the lectures themselves; you are responsible
for all material presented in class and in the assigned readings.
