Lecture notes for each week by late Friday afternoon of preceding week. I will bring printed versions of each week's packets to class on Mondays. It is recommended that you use these notes in conjunction with attending class. After each class I will post the filled-in versions for that day. At the end of the week I'll post the entire week's filled-in notes.
