This schedule is tentative and most likely will be revised. Among other things, the assignments are not yet cast in stone. More assignments may be added.
You may also be interested in the Fall 2009 syllabus, which has old copies of scribe notes. The fall syllabus used a slightly different textbook, though, and the lecture topics may not line up exactly even if the titles are the same.
