This page contains links to material presented in class January-April 2002.


Some of the lecture sections listed contains material from more than one, some for less than one lecture. There is also a number problems that mostly constitute assignments and exams from the winter sessions 1999- 2002.

The notes will be modified from time to time to correct for typos and other errors, awkward formulations etc. Therefore, you are advised not to make a hard copy until you actually need it.
