As a directed readings course, instead of regularly scheduled lectures we will have weekly meetings (M 2:30 – 3:30, ER-6037). The goal of these meetings will be to briefly discuss the readings topics, course requirements, and other related topics.
The course syllabus contains the course schedule, topics, and other details about the course.
The reading list contains additional readings for the course.
