Color code:
Green: Background material---read carefully before class. I will not cover this. You are responsible to know it ahead of time.
Magenta: Core material---read before class. I will briefly review and highlight the content, but not lecture on it. Most of our time in class will be spent working on problems from this material.
Cyan: Advanced material---skim before class, read after class. Usually this will be for hard material that I do not expect you to get on a first read. Familiarize yourself with it before class; I will lecture on it
