References in the lists of objects to, for instance, “G. 4-5” refers to illustrations in Gardner, here ch. 4, fig. 5. Objects marked with an asterisk (*) are not in Gardner, but are illustrated on the web site. You will be held responsible for these if covered in lecture. We sometimes do not have time to cover all the objects listed in the syllabus. If we do not cover it in class, it will not be on the exam; if we do, it is fair game.
