Classes will go something
like this in fall:
1-2: logistics, overview, and questions; 2-3:
lecture and discussion; 3-4: in-class work period; 4-4:45:
making connections; 5:00-6:30: seminar or presentations
Please arrive on time and plan to stay until 6:30 pm (or
7 for DiffEq, including semianr). If you have a conflict,
please reschedule it. We'll take a couple of 10-15
minute breaks each afternoon. Feel free to bring food
and drink to sustain you (quietly).

| DUE DATES: Complete the reading
assignments before class.
Homework is due before class the following week,
same day. Please see syllabi for assignment details and
for due dates on papers, presentations, and projects.
