Reading Assignments for August 31, 2005

I will post an assignment here every week.  From time to time, I will also post some other material (what the midterm will cover, etc).  I post the entries in reverse chronological order.  You can always scroll down to see earlier entries, but the current entry will be at the top. 

There will be a homework assignment almost every week, posted in the column to the right.  The far right column is reserved for other material I want to add.

You are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the reading assignment. It is a waste of your time to go over material which you have read in preparation for class.
