Lectures

    I scan my hand written class lecture notes and upload them for you to view. They may not be carefully detailed at all places. Please be warned that these are the notes I prepare to lecture from - they are not in general very carefully prepared to read from. I make no guarantees about their legibility, or that they are totally free of errors. I hope, nevertheless that you will find them useful. The lectures are uploaded as pdf files, so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to read them. The lecture note files correspond roughly to the material presented in a given day's lecture.
