F2402/C2006 '99 Tentative Schedule and Reading List

    This schedule will be finalized once room arrangements can be confirmed for the exams (& organic instructors consulted to minimize exam conflicts). Please e-mail the instructor if there are any problems with the proposed schedule.
     The readings listed below are highly recommended but are not required -- read as much as you need to understand the lectures and answer the study questions. It usually pays to read one of the books (or an equivalent text) before the lecture and then to consult the others further for reference as needed.
