  * In these cases, the reading stops in the middle of a section.
    The note indicates the location where the reading assignment
    ends.  In most cases, the relevant section is assigned again
    later in the class; the section reading resumes at the earlier
    stopping place.

 ** In this case, page 312 is an additional page to read in 
    Chapter 10 in addition to sections 1 and 2.  Also, in section
    9.4, your reading stops at the bottom of page 285.

*** Read the introduction and "Tension in one dimension"
    on Wikipedia's Tension page

  + Read the introduction to Wikipedia's Differential Equations page

 ++ Read the introduction and Definition on Wikipedia's Taylor
    Series webpage
