Lecture Synopses:  I will now place lecture synopses here.  There will be a brief overview of what I did in each lecture.  This is for the TAs as well as the students. 

 

This page will be updated regularly when new information about the course arises.  General information about course structure, requirements, as well as specific information related to your lecture or section, will be posted here and updated as needed. 
 

For those of you who would like help outside of that of the professor or TAs, there is a free service offered by the Mathematics Help Room.  Click for more details.
