Lecture Slides and Notes

Listed below are lecture notes/slides saved as PDF files - there are 3 slides per page, with room for you to take notes. While the full set of lecture notes is still a work in progress, I will work to have lecture notes posted here at least two days before each class meeting, so that students who want to print these out to take notes on during class can do so.
