Schedule

Master Schedule
Class Meetings: We have formulated a preliminary list of chapters to be covered each week as indicated in the table below. An X indicates classes are not in session. An R indicates that the lecture will be dedicated to a review before an exam. The symbols M1, M2, and F refer to these exams. H indicates the date at which the homework is due.

Homework: We have replaced the CAPA homework system with the more modern WebAssign homework assignment system. This system actively defines homework assignments for the class wherein the assigned problems are the same but the numbers are unique to each student. It is HTML based and can be accessed by most browsers from anyplace in the world. With the purchase of your textbook, you will have received a WebAssign access card. Follow these instructions to log in and active yourself as a student.

Labs: Many weeks a laboratory experiment will be performed. During weeks with an exam, no lab will be held, but instead, we will have make-ups for a limited set of labs.
