Lecture Notes

Following are links to the bullet-style notes developed for this class. If for some reason you cannot download these documents at home, use any of the general access computer labs on campus. The lecture notes are listed in their order of presentation, with a title that describes the topic, and should match the title in the noteset. These notes generally follow the textbook chapters, with 3-4 pages of notes per chapter. Each noteset is 1 or 2 pages long.
