For each class meeting, the sections listed are the sections of the text which will be introduced at that meeting. After each class, recommended problems from the text, as wel as one or more online quizzes, will be assigned; these will be discussed at the following class meeting, before new material is introduced.

 

So, for example: Chapter 1 will be introduced on Monday, June 4. Between June 4 and 5, it is expected that you will read the section, review your notes, spend some time on the recommended problems from Chapter 1 of the text, and spend some time on the online Chapter 1 Quiz.
