Calendar

Welcome to the ESC102 tentative class calendar. I say tentative because there may be times during the semester when I will be forced to adapt this calendar to better fit class needs. If and when this happens you will be notified but for the most part you can rely on this calendar for homework due dates and scheduled exams. For your convenience, lecture notes and homework assignments have also been linked to this calendar.
