M362K Probability
Tentative Course Schedule
Last Revised December 31

This schedule is only tentative, and is based on the actual schedule for an M362K class I taught in 2001.  My hope is to go slightly faster than this schedule, and to have time for some additional special topics at the end.  If we fall behind, we'll have to cut out some of the review dates and special topics (like statistics and elections).
