IMPORTANT! EARLY FINAL EXAM for those with three exams on December 11 will be given on
Monday, December 10, at 10:00am in Cox 110. Don't miss it. This will be the ONLY chance.

These posted notes are not a substitute for attending class and reading the textbook. A great deal is said in class that never makes it to this "electronic blackboard", and if you're not present, you'll miss it. Anything said in class, anything in your textbook readings is fair game for exams, even if it's not in the notes.
