1) lecture outlines: an outline of the scheduled topics. These are slides that may be shown in class. We will not always have an overhead presentation; it depends on the content of the notes. Thus these notes will be useful to print out for class. You may wish to avoid printing pages with large pictures or Java applets. Java applets do not print normally; they will appear as grey rectangles when printed. Some examples and activities done in class will not be shown in this set of notes.
2) complete lecture notes: these are supplemental (optional) materials, containing the full lecture. This material is organized in the form of scrolling text rather than slides. Extra examples and instruction are provided. These you should read after attending the lecture. You should not print these ahead of time, as there are numerous spoilers contained in the text!
Important concept.
Stop, spoiler ahead. Read on only after either considering the questions asked or after sitting in on the discussion in the lecture.
