   You should read the sections of the textbook listed in the syllabus before coming to lecture.  The lecture will be used to explain the concepts.  I will try to avoid long derivations in class.  In each lecture we will workout a couple of sample problems from the text book. The solutions to these sample problems will be posted on the lecture supplements section.
