Copies of slides will be made available just before or after the lecture. Please check the course web-site regularly. A copy of all the relevant material will be put in the coop. Some of the material is not put on-line because of copyright reasons (material and figures used from other sources).

 

Supplementary material will greatly facilitate your grasp of the particular topic and will help provide a deeper understanding of the lecture content. However, this material may contain advanced concepts not covered in the lecture. But as far as exams are concerned, you are responsible only for the material covered in the class.
