Bibliography

(Continually being added to and completed)

Papers and books that we will use in the course will be listed here. If these are readings you're being asked to do, they can be left outside my office suite (718 Commonwealth Ave., 4th floor, outside 401) for you to borrow, photocopy, and return in a timely manner. Sometimes these are available for download from the author's pages. I have provided what links I know about. Sometimes the authors will have other interesting papers of theirs linked in as well.
