This page contains a complete list of lecture outlines for the lecture topics of the semester. To obtain a lecture outline for a topic, click on it. Each outline is a PDF file that you should save to your computer. Note that the lecture outlines are just outlines. They do not contain all of the material that is presented in lecture and they do not contain all of the material that you are responsible for learning for the exams.

For success in this course, I highly recommend that you do the following:

         (1) Print out the lecture outlines

         (2) Take notes on them during lecture

         (3) Do the study problems for the lecture as soon as each lecture ends
