Lecture Notes Online

These lecture notes are provided as a service to students in the class to facilitate note-taking during class. Be warned that sometimes, although I hope only rarely, you may find errors in my notes. These are, at their core, lecture notes that I produce for my own use. I do not edit them to ensure they are completely appropriate and accurate for student usage although they usually are. All the notes are copyrighted.  Again, I am providing them as a service to students that I hope will be helpful. Make sure to read the caveats and suggested uses of these notes at the bottom of this page.
