>Notes
>Based on requests from last year, we have expanded the section sizes 
>so that the total is 200.   This means that 60 to 90 non-Sloan 
>students will be able to preregister.  To preregister, you must use 
>the Sloan bidding system.  If you are closed out of the class, you 
>will be put on a waiting list.  If you are on the top 25 on the 
>waiting list, there is a good chance that you will be able to add 
>the subject.
>
>The prerequisite of 18.06 can be waived for anyone who is very 
>comfortable with elementary properties of matrices.  Very little 
>linear algebra is used in 15.053.  It is also waived for anyone 
>taking 18.06 concurrently.
