OK, This isn't going according to plan...

We're taking a slightly slower pass through things. This was updated on Feb 19 to reflect the changes.

Topics (and readings) here are given on a per-week basis. What happens which days will be decided later.

Readings listed are the required ones in the reader. See the reader for additional suggested readings. Some recommended ones might get promoted, some required ones might get demoted.

The weeks are linked to the more detailed syllabus, which may or may not have details.
