Lecture Notes: These are the notes
that I use to prepare and
deliver
my lecture. They are provided here as an additional resource for
students. However, they are not guaranteed to be complete,
accurate,
or up-to-date, and should not be viewed as a replacement for taking
notes
in class. Should these notes conflict with anything I have stated
or demonstrated in class, then what is presented in class takes
precedence.
Please bring any discrepancies to my attention.
