Course materials

As indicated in the course introduction, there are several kinds of materials needed for this course. In addition to the texts, you should have the course note packet from University Copy & More, 1620 W University Ave. In addition, be sure to bring a piece of notebook paper with you to each class since I may ask you to do some sort of "in class" exercise.
