The following is a tentative list of topics to be covered in the course. Note
that this list is subject to changes. See the bottom of the page for a way to
receive notification by email when this page changes. The main expected changes
are the posting of the assignments, additional course material, and solutions
to in-class and take home assignments. (* Readings include Units from the course
packet, as well as sample equivalent chapters from Cay Horstman (CH) - if you
