Note: This syllabus along with its related course calendar provide initial, general plans for the course (i.e., starting points). Deviations, changes, or adaptations may be necessary. I will do my best to restrict these to minor changes (e.g., those needed as the course unfolds). With these consideration in mind, please develop the habit of examining the WWW version of the syllabus regularly.
