Suggested Syllabus
This book may be covered completely in a two quarter course, but
contains more material than may be covered in a one semester course.
The following are suggestions for a one semester course:
- Chapters 1 through 7, 8.1 through 8.4, 9, and 10.1 through 10.4.
- Chapters 1 through 7, 8.1 through 8.4, 11, and 12.
As far as selecting material from Chapters 1 through 7 is concerned,
you should note the following:
- Sections 1.4, 2.6, 3.4, 3.5, 4.5, 4.6, and 5.3 are not extensively
used in later sections, and so may be selectively omitted.
Some comments on the dependence of Chapters 8 through 12 follow,
assuming that you have covered Chapters 1 through 7, and Sections 8.1
through 8.4, in the manner previously described.
- Sections 8.5 through 8.8 are not critical for later sections.
- Chapters 9 follows from Chapter 7. It does not use any material from
Chapter 8.

from Chapters 9 and 10. It is not used in later chapters.
