On this page you will find the materials presented in lecture as well as links to web resources that illustrate topics covered in lectures.
In class, I use computer aided presentations. I will place (hopefully at least by the night before class in most instances) black and white hardcopy versions of my presentation materials on this page. These materials will be provided as Adobe Portable Document Format files which can be read using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. All files will be password protected and are for your personal use only. As stated in the syllabus they may not be copied nor distributed without my permission. JUST BECAUSE THESE MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEND CLASS AS I WILL CERTAINLY COVER INFORMATION NOT IN THE HANDOUTS!
If the topic headings below are grayed out, this means that I have not placed the final version on the website yet.
