As it says above, this is the planned schedule for the semester.
Like all schedules, it is subject to change. At most points in the
semester, we will probably be a little bit ahead or a little bit
behind.
All section numbers are out of Johnson, Riess and Arnold,
Introduction to Linear Algebra, Fifth Edition.
