Lecture Notes
Students are responsible for the material in the references and that in the
papers/handouts, if any. The class notes and slides are just "notes"; they may
not cover all required material. The instructor will point out the required
chapters in the reference books and papers.
As the semester progresses, I will be depositing electronic copies of
my class notes as they become
available on this page. My notes are based on the references. Please be advised
that online notes are subject to change as courses develops.
