The files herein are in PDF format. You can access them only if you have a PDF reader on your computer system (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader).  You can acquire this reader for any version of Windows, or for the Mac, or for Linux, by clicking on the links on the main courses page here (the link that got you here).

NOTE: The lecture notes only appear after a lecture has been given, typically within a day or two following.  If the date below is not blue with an underline, that means the file has not been created and linked to it yet.  Be advised that these notes are by no means a comprehensive or accurate record of what is covered in class, nor what I will expect you to know for examination and paper-writing purposes, since that must necessarily include comments made you, my students, and interactions that arise among all of us who attend, not to mention what you have read (only some of which we have time to go over in class).  In short, these are no substitute for class attendance or doing the reading!
