This year I am trying to introduce a new arrangement of the material of
the course. I hope to have soon a list of each class through the semester and
some readings or problems for you to read before each class and some problems
to do after each class. Some of the problems given for you to do after each
class will be covered in the tutorials of the following week. For the moment we
shall have only the first two weeks.
