Lectures are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30am-11:00am, in DMP 201.
This is only approximate. As they become available there will be links to the slides (both PowerPoint and PDF).
Please note that the "print" script on the CS machines may strip out math fonts from the PDF, so you may want to use "pdf2ps" to manually convert to postscript before printing.
