>2003 students, etc.) are provided with text and photographs at:
>https://web.mit.edu/10.28/www.

>Given the pre-reqs (see below), many of you are probably eligeable to take the
>course. For those of you concerned with the engineering content, we will
>provide lectures to introduce basic concepts so that students will be able to
>catch up, whether they are from the School of Science or of Engineering.
>
>If you are interested in taking the course, I would appreciate it very much if
>you could pre-register as soon as possible, as knowing the number of students,
>early on, would help us make sure we have ample resources for the course.
>PRE-REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW.
