Reading List
In general there are 2-3 readings per week for the first half of the
class and one reading per week in the second half. The readings
serve two important functions in this class. The first is to
introduce you to the topics that we will discuss in the class,
something that can only be done before the indicated week's class
begins.
The second important function of the readings is to convey material in
more detail than it is possible to discuss in class. Since you will
see different things after our discussion than before, it would be a
good idea to go back over the readings after class is over in order to
ensure that you have understand the details that are related to the
concepts we discussed in class.
