Lecture Materials

Below you will find blank copies of the lecture outlines that you will find in my lecture videos. Some students tell me they like to print or download these to help them take notes on. After we finish pass a topic, I will also post a filled in handwritten copy of my notes on this page.

NOTE: Please ignore any homework due dates one page one of these outlines, instead always go off the course calendar and the due dates on Webassign.
