First day of class today! I've made a Google Group for the class, which will be the main forum for class announcements and handouts. Go sign up for it now! Everyone in the class will be expected to keep current with this group, so start now!

The main textbook will be Markov Chains and Mixing Times by Levin, Peres and Wilmer.
You can get it from AMS, or a free PDF version from the authors. There is also an errata document at the same website.

Another text we will use in the course is Mathematical Aspects of Mixing Times in Markov Chains by Montenegro and Tetali.
You can get it from NOW publishers, or a free PDF version from the authors.
