Lecture Notes

I really want you to listen, think, and respond in class. So I'm supplying notes from my slides.

The way these will work is that there will be one version before class (we're starting from the lectures given last fall semester) and another version afterwards, reflecting revisions made for this year as well as anything that may have actually happened during class discussion. The pre-class version might include questions we'll discuss in class with no answers. The post-class version will include my answers as well as contributions from the class discussion. I will try to update the pre-class version with this year's modifications by 10 am the day of class to allow you enough time to print out as up-to-date a version as possible to bring with you to class.
