Most of the information on this server is organized in a simple directory structure. Finding items should be fairly self explanitory.
Most of the files are available in each of two formats:
MS Word documents,(The last is probably the most reliable for reading, but is not very good for copy and paste.) Data for assigments are in plain text files.
Adobe Protable Document Format (PDF).
Lectures, Handouts and Assignments: information on (i) lecture topics, (ii) reading assignments, (iii) handouts, and (iv) homework assignments. This is the best way to keep track of what materials are available on this WWW site, and what you need to have done.
Tentative list of topics to be covered
Assignments (a directory)
Handouts (a directory)
Some papers discussed or otherwise of interest (a directory of PDF files)
Optional Handouts (a directory)
Some (mostly old) Lecture Notes (most recent material is in Handouts)
