MAS 4301 Section 075A (14554), Spring 2024
Tentative, Very Approximate Weekly Schedule of Lectures and Assignments
Last updated Tue Jan 2 13:55 EST 2024
This schedule is just my (Dr. Groisser's) best guess and hope, as of the start of the semester, of what chapters or sections of the textbook will be covered when. I do not teach large-lecture, cookie-cutter courses. Exactly what I cover, and when, depends on many factors, including but not limited to students' preparation, students' questions, and the eventual need to go through certain topics more slowly than I might estimate at the beginning of the semester.
Therefore I cannot give an exact schedule of weekly topics, let alone precise assignments, before the semester starts. I add to the then-current homework assignment after almost every class, and update the assignment on the homework page.
