The general format for the week will be two days where we discuss topics and problems from the assigned text readings, and one activity day, where we will usually work with computer simulation or modelling techniques. Homework will generally be due on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Tentative Schedule*:
* I reserve the right to modify this schedule if necessary.
