Lecture Outlines And Overheads
The material for each lecture is outlined along with the corresponding require
reading (and background readings in brackets). Download the each lecture and bring it to class to keep
track of the lectures and organize your notes. The lectures should be available
the day of class. The
Powerpoints are web-based versions of the PowerPoint slides used
in lecture. Downloading and reviewing the
lecture outlines or slides is not a substitute for attending lectures.
I guarantee that you cannot do well in the course without
attending!
The material is organized around the exams and are broken
down in approximately 5 week blocks. The

specifies dates for each lecture and dates of available of the quizzes, exams,
