Lecture Slides
The slides used in the PowerPoint presentations in lecture can be found here
in a format suitable for note-taking in lecture. The slides should (mostly)
be available the night before the lecture.
Clicker Questions
The slides from the clicker questions used in the PowerPoint presentations in lecture. These will be posted after the lecture is completed.
Old Exams
The exams from last year and this year's mid-semester makeup. (To be posted
at appropriate times.)
Readings and Links
Occasional reading assignments (assigned in homework) or links to useful websites,
and software used in class. Publicly available links will be on the "Readings
and Links" webpage in the open web. Other useful materials that I am allowed
to use in this class but not distribute publicly are in your blackboard
site. Be sure you know how to log in to this site as there will be some required
materials only made available there (such as homework solutions).
Homework The weekly homework assignments can be obtained by clicking below. Once the assignments have been collected, the solutions will be posted on Blackboard. Typically, solutions will be posted on Sundays. Partial postings may be made, a problem at a time.
