Class Notes

You can find copies of the class notes here. They will usually be ready a day before class.

Note that these represent only partial notes. You are responsible for everything that transpires during class time or video tapes, including additional comments I make from time to time, answers to questions, and the like.

Note: the notes are only available in so-called "Portable Document Format (PDF)." This means that they appear exactly as they have been handed out. To view and print them you must have Adobe Reader installed on your machine. Most university computers have this software. You can download your own copy from the University's software distribution center.

For Windows 95: Adobe Reader Version 3.01. Follow the instructions to download (i.e., install your own copy).
