Class Calendar

Last updated December 8, 2011

Neils Bohr once said that "It is very hard to predict, especially the future." For that reason, I'm not even going to try to do that here more than one class in advance, except to put in assignments as I know the due dates. You can use this page to get an idea of what is on the immediate horizon, and also to remind you of what we've done so far.
