Lecture Notes
In class this year, I am not following my notes too closely. In general, I am improvising using a combination of some hand-written notes, typed notes (in power point - sometimes from last year).
As in the past, I am making my notes available to you. However: I make no promises that these are of any use to anyone other than me. Not everything that we talk about in class is in the notes, and not everything in the notes gets discussed (you are only responsible for things we actually get to discuss).
I will also try to make audio recordings (and maybe even video, if I get brave). No guarantees that these will be useful. However, if you do find them useful (or have ideas on what could be done to make them more useful), let me know. I'm not sure what a 50 minute mp3 file will be good for. Also, the audio quality may not be great - i'm just using my little MP3 player to record it.
