If you see a garbage, sorry: you should use browser supporting tables;
Number of section in [] means that this section is left for independent study
We don't study chapter 6, due to lack of time and because the proper exposition requires complex variables but it is important in the analysis of electrical circuits;
There is a lot of problems, joined in the narrow groups, in the book and you can replace any problem by another from the same group.
we give rather brief survey in Chapter 8; those, who needs the real thing, should take CSC351
