Lecture Notes

These lecture notes represent a summary of the topics discussed in class. Each lecture includes a list of homework problems from the assigned problem set which can be completed using the material from that session’s lecture. The practice problems for each lecture are not to be written up or turned in. These are assigned only for practice, and are entirely voluntary.
