Office hours this semester: MWF 10:10-11:00 and by appointment or drop-in.
May be changed later according to need.
I am posting some supplementary notes here; they comment on textbook material, trying to give a bird's eye view. So they will be a brief summary, plus give some extra material not in the book, if this is deemed helpful. They are NOT a substitute for the lecture, nor for the textbook, and I will not attempt to set them up as a set of complete lecture notes. But you may find them still helpful after the class is over, for review purposes in later classes.

Even though I am teaching both sections along the same book, syllabus, and course philosophy, they may cease to be equivalent during the semester, because I will adapt and respond to questions/difficulties arising in each class, and this input may be different from section to section.
