Lectures

Lectures will be posted here prior to the date on which the material is covered. Please print the lectures for the upcoming classes and take them with you to class. This will make taking notes easier and will help you get more out of your class time.

The lecture notes below were used in Spring 2015. They may be updated throughout the semester. I will append the name of the lecture to say that it is updated if this is necessary. New lecture notes will be listed as such.
