Online Version of Course Syllabus (html). Note that we are officially behind schedule -- I've intentionally gone a little slower than in the past. The last exam will include chapters 14 and 15, and at a simple level, chapters 16-19 (the cost of going slower). Coming to class the last week for the solar system summary will likely be useful!
