Reading Schedule

This daily reading schedule is intentionally not tied to the lecture schedule. Instead it is designed to cover a reasonable amount of material on a regular basis. On the average, you will need to read six to twelve pages a day, which in our experience is an appropriate speed of reading. As a result you will occasionally be behind the lecture schedule, and most of the time you will be ahead, which will help you and us to make lectures interesting.
