Lectures will be posted as they are available, usually the night before the class, so you can print them out and use them to follow the lecture, simply annotating these notes rather than having to take all your own. NOTE: I provide these lecture notes to assist your learning but they do not substitute for attending class. Exams and assignments are based on material covered in class, regardless of whether it is covered in these lecture notes or not. If you miss class, make sure to find out from someone who did attend what was actually covered.
NOTES ON USAGE: All these lectures are copyrighted Ronald B. Mitchell. If you are teaching a course and using my lectures or Powerpoints, you are expected to provide a verbal citation to my lectures before each lecture.
