Below are links to slides and related sites of interests for the lectures as organized by topic on the syllabus . There are some things I would like to note here by way of cautionary notes:
The Lecture on Lecture Slides:
Lecture slides will be posted as web pages on a weekly basis. The
lectures slides (as well as all linked material) are not required material,
nor are they something to which students should feel entitled. I make the
effort to post the slides solely as a supplementary study aid for your benefit.
Neither are slides an appropriate substitute for attending class. Though
I try to include a great deal on the slides, their content does not exhaust
the content of the lecture. While I will do my best to help students access
slides, I am not a technical support person either by vocation or skill level.
Practical Suggestions For Slide
and Link Use:
The slide files can be a bit large by the standards of current modem
technology (for example, the intro lecture is over 500k). If you have a
28k bps modem or lower, you might want to download them
once and save the file as an html file on
your computer. You can then view the slides through your browser at will.
If you are looking for a particular piece of information in the slides,
if you want quick access to slides, or if you want to view the slides in
context, I suggest that you access the index page. The index page has thumbnails
of each slide in order. It downloads much quicker, and you can click on any
thumbnail to see the slide in normal size. Finally, the slides are saved
as gif pictures in the pages. This means that (1) the slides are smaller
than in lecture, (2) the slide quality is lower (size varies as well with
the resolution I am forced into to keep slide files small), and (3) none of
the animation effects will appear in the slides.
Fair warning about the links, the links in this page are not to resources that I have created or that I control. Nor are the opinions expressed necessarily in agreement with my own.
