Schedule of events:
This schedule is tentative and is subject to change. We will modify the
schedule if we need to spend some additional time covering topics that are
unclear/misunderstood. I expect that we will complete everything through Chapter 15
with any special topics being derived from subsequent chapters (16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22)
