Tentative Course Calendar:

We will try to cover the material in Chapters 1-5 of the book at a speed appropriate for maximal understanding and retention. Continuous distributions will be introduced early and I may deviate or skip around in book to cover these. I may introduce some topics from chap 6 and 7 if time permits. Graduate students will be required to read these chapters and contact me for help. I will not accept homework late. Last years syllabus is in red. I will do things differently than last Fall but leave last falls detailed syllabus as a guide.
