Class Notes (as of 11dec02)
I'll try to keep up with the class lectures. In fact, the left bottom corner
of each page of the notes shows the date that material was last changed, to
help you update your own copy as you or I find things to complain about.
Comments by email, particularly questions and complaints about errors, are
welcome.
