Notes on Material Covered in Class

Below are very brief summaries of the material covered in each week's lectures. Topics and details do arise during the course of the class meetings that are not anticipated nor reflected in the course lecture packet. This is in part due to the excellent student participation and in part due to use of live code examples. One offshoot of this is, however, that as you recall what has been accomplished, there is no substitute for having been to the lectures and having taken notes on your own.

Note: "4pp" is 4 slides per page, "1pp" is one slide per page
Student slides have blanks that need to be filled in during lecture.
