LECTURE INFORMATION
     fall 1997

Each lecture menu contains the following items:

• lecture goals and outline I want you to know a set of facts and concepts after this lecture. I'm calling those the goals of the lecture. The outline is the subheadings I am likely to use in lecture, with a very brief supplementary note if appropriate. These are not lecture notes, just an outline.
• questions before lecture Answer these questions before you watch the videotaped lecture. They will give you an idea of what your knowledge and preconceptions are on each lecture's subjects.
• questions after lecture After the lecture, you should be able to answer these questions. Some of them will reappear as homework or exam questions.
• lecture parts of homework This is the homework specifically related to this lecture. It may appear as one multipart question with the same number as the lecture, or as pieces of one or more questions. You can also select the complete homework set encompassing this lecture.
• lecture supplementary materials From time to time there will be interesting extra material you could look at for your own edification and pleasure, which I will list here.
• timely reminders Is anything due soon? Is there a homework question which takes extra long to do or for which you will barely have time? Exam coming up? Those things will be featured here.
