About this page

• Topic -- link to PowerPoint slides giving more information about the week's material. (Links will become active by the Sunday at the start of the week.) These slides are in roughly the order I'll cover material in class. You can download them by right-clicking on the link. If you print them out, you may want to use the "handouts: 9 slides per page" setting to save paper, or the "handouts: 3 slides per page" to save paper but still leave space to add notes of your own.

  The order of the topics is tentative. Changes may be made right up to the beginning of class. Links will be activated as the material becomes ready.

• MON - FRI -- links to labs and assignments on their due dates. Assignments/labs are on material from the week before they are due. Links will become active before we start the material, meaning that you can work on them while we are covering the material.
