These on-line lecture notes
are subject to change, and they will be updated and revised
as necessary over the course of the winter session. They
are not meant to be a substitute for your own notes, and
they certainly are not meant to be an alternative to
showing up to class. But hopefully you'll find them a
useful supplement to help you fill in the gaps come study
time.
