NOTE: The calendar below is slightly different from that distributed on the first day of class – in particular, the Number Theory Topics have been distributed throughout the semester, instead of grouped together at the end.  This is the official version of the calendar for the semester, although minor updates may still be made as circumstances dictate.  The live, most up-to-date version of the calendar can always be found here.
