Other resources: The syllabus, the Canvas site and the Piazza forum. You may also find Sage helpful for computations. Here is an overleaf template that can help you get started with the homework. Optional: here is the preamble you need to compile the .tex files for the Homeworks.

Course Calendar

The sections refer to the chapter in Axler, unless stated otherwise. The calendar is subject to change.
