Please note: some of these lecture notes contain due dates and other details from last year. While all the assingment are the same, the due dates are now meaningless. Any details like due dates and the date of tests and quizes will be discussed in class. For instance, at the very least I will tell you when there will be a quiz in the next class. Just ignore any notes relating to dates that you find in the lecture notes.
