Class Notes

Class Summaries are indexed below; just click on the link. I will try to provide the information on what I spoke about, what you spoke about, what is underlying what we are covering, and what we treated as a group.  The materials handed out in class are included via downloadable links from each summary.

Important Note:  Not surprisingly, the notes include notation in the "Symbol" font.  Be sure that the preferences in your web browser are set so that fonts are read as "page-specified" (rather than having your own fonts override the page-specified ones).
