Fall 2002 Syllabus with Lecture Notes

The syllabus below was used when the course was last taught in Fall 2002. Links to lecture notes are provided. Note: The lecture notes were generated from Power point slides and there are some problems with the fonts on the web. In addition, the notes were intended to accompany in-class lectures, not as a tool for self-study. Despite these defects, they should be helpful to students studying for credit by exam.
