Laboratory: The lab in this course will consist of exercises handed
out in class. The labs correspond with many of the topics covered in
lecture. Most lab exercises are designed to be completed during one
class period. In some cases, it may be necessary to complete the lab
at home or to spend some additional time in the lab room to complete a
given lab.
