Slides and Related Links
Below are links to slides and related sites of interests for the lectures
as organized by topic on the syllabus . There are some things I would like
to note here by way of cautionary notes:
The Lecture on Lecture Slides:
Lecture slides are posted as web pages, I will be updating coming lectures
on a weekly basis. The lectures slides (as well as all linked material) are
not required material, nor are they something to which students should feel
entitled. I make the effort to post the slides solely as a supplementary study
aid for your benefit. Neither are slides an appropriate substitute for attending
class. Though I try to include a great deal on the slides, their content does
not exhaust the content of the lecture. While I will do my best to help students
access slides, I am not a technical support person either by vocation or skill
level.
Practical Suggestions For Slide and Link Use:
The slide files can be a bit large by the standards of current modem
technology.
If you have a 28k bps modem or lower, you might want to download them once
and save the file as an html file on your computer. You can then view the
slides
through your browser at will. If you are looking for a particular piece of
information
in the slides, if you want quick access to slides, or if you want to view the
slides in context, I suggest that you access the index page. The index page has
thumbnails of each slide in order. It downloads much quicker, and you can click
on any thumbnail to see the slide in normal size. Finally, the slides are saved
as gif pictures in the pages. This means that (1) the slides are smaller
than
in lecture,(2) the slide quality is lower, and (3)none of the animation effects
will appear in the slides.
