This schedule is just your instructor's best guess, as of the start of the semester, of what sections of the textbook (Nagel, Saff, & Snider, Fundamentals of Differential Equations, 8th edition) will be covered when. Students should read the relevant material in the appropriate section of the textbook no later than the day after we cover that material in class, and preferably earlier.

Omitted book-sections are sections that your instructor is not currently planning to cover.
