For reading notes online: The screen images are organized by topic. When the screens become available you will be able to click on a topic title to go to individual lists of screens for those specific topics. Some of the screens are out of date; they will be updated as we go along (see notes in red for recenet updates).

For taking notes during lecture: You can print out a full set of screens for each topic (with white space for taking notes) by downloading and printing the PDF files. The versions in use this quarter are usually available 1-2 days before the start of the topic during the lectures (see schedule)--check the notes here in red for recent updates. Click on the appropriate PDF logo to either begin downloading the PDF file or displaying it to your screen (depending on how your browser is set up and whether you have the Acrobat Reader Plug-in installed in your browser):

--this file has four screens per printed page: pdf4ex

pdf1ex--this file has one screen per printed page. You may be able to direct your printer driver to reformat your printer output to squeeze as many on one page as you like (1, 2, 4, 6, etc. per page) :


You will need to have Adobe Acrobat® Reader in order to view and print the PDF files.
