(Posted 8 October 1997)
Note: I expect that students will bring different backgrounds and strengths to the class; different parts of the textbook material will be review for different students. Plan to study the textbook readings in as much depth as you need to be able to make sense of the numerical aspects. Additional (non-textbook) readings will be assigned. KB
