Schedule of Topics

The outline below indicates a "first cut" at the list of topics that we will cover during the course. This list is likely to change as we get further into the course and I am better able to determine the background of each student and to select topics of interest to the majority.

Please note that for the Spring Semester 2003 we will be covering material at the rate of two lessons every week (i.e., assignments for lessons 1 and 2 are due at the end of week 1; lessons 3 and 4 are due at the end of the 2nd week, etc.)
