Click on a lecture topic below to access the online
notes for that lecture. In most cases, these notes are taken
directly from the slides presented during class, though scheduling issues may
cause minor differences from the actual material presented during class.
Please note
that some material presented in class (e.g., reviews for exams and discussions of the most frequently missed exam
questions) is not posted to the web.
Availability of online notes: Online notes are posted by 5 pm the day before the lecture (e.g., Monday at 5pm for Tuesday's lecture). Technical difficulties, such as large-scale disruption of internet service, can however delay this schedule. In these cases, notes are posted as soon as it is possible. Notes will remain available though the end of the semester (i.e., through the end of finals week).
