very roughly estimated Weekly Schedule of Lectures and Assignments
This page is here for the sole reason of meeting a syllabus-requirement that I find counterproductive for this class.I teach MTG 6256 a little differently each time. The pace and the exact choice of topics are functions of many variables that are unknown before the semester begins, including the overall level of the particular group of students enrolled that year. It would be a waste of time to attempt to write a detailed weekly schedule of lectures, prior to the start of the semester, that I would try to adhere to after the semester begins. I will create the assignments as we go along; I cannot give them to you in advance of the semester.
However, a weekly schedule of lectures and assignments is a required component of UF syllabi, so below is my attempt to meet that requirement before the syllabus-posting deadline.
