This page gives you a good idea what to expect the lectures to cover, what reading you are expected to do, and when the exams are scheduled.
At the beginning of the semester, the schedule will be incomplete. However, it will expand and evolve throughout the semester. Each time it does, I will post an announcement of that fact on the What’s New page.
