The list that follows provides an outline of the course content. Although specific dates are listed, they should be thought of more as guides for the order of topics presented than as actual scheduled lectures. We will cover the topics in the order presented and will, in general, be close to the listed topics on any given day. However, there will be times that we are ahead and times that we are behind the listed schedule. Not every topic can be fit exactly into a two hour chunk of time. Lectures will be in Remsen 216.
