The table below has the topics that I intend to cover each class day - after class they are adjusted if necessary to should what I did cover. Also, after class I upload the jpg image of the notes/doodles that I created in each of my two classes. The notes for class will appear in the calendar/table below by about 12:45am each classday. I also added the eleven homeworks on the days that they are due. - Dr. McCord
9 : 3 0 am = the 9:30 class
