If no one else takes this class, you will be sharing a copy between two of you. We will use the first six chapters.
Cities embody the diversity and energy of human pursuits.
They are in many ways remarkable engines of economic and social progress. Cities offer employment opportunities, entertainment and other amenities, and potential efficiencies not found elsewhere, as well as advantages in the delivery of education, health, and other social services. On average, urban dwellers have higher incomes and live healthier, easier lives than their rural counterparts, although these advantages are often not shared by all urban inhabitants. Most of the computer 'stuff' will happen during Wednesday or Friday in the Hebeler Lab. There will be some work on computers expected outside of class.
