This course is being taught for the very first time this semester, and as a result, the textbook is unproven. It will satisfy some of the reading requirements, but not all of them. Therefore, if a particular topic requires additional notes, this page is where you will find links to those notes. It will be announced in class when you will need to visit this site to find these notes. Typically, the notes will not be available until two or three days before the class period in which they are needed.
All of these documents are in either HTML or PDF format. If you do not have a copy of the Adobe Acrobat Viewer for the PDF files, download the free copy from their web site.
