Class Notes

From the Prof

I'll use this page to post selected Powerpoint slides from class, especially those summarizing key points. The slides will be organized by topic, rather than the day we cover the material in class. Thus, if we do not complete a topic on the scheduled day, I will still keep the slides on that topic together.
