PowerPoint Lecture Notes

NOTE:  The following lecture notes are adapted from a summer class that I taught via Northwestern's CTD Summer program.  They are meant to supplement your notes and reading.  They should NOT be used in place of your daily notes in class or reading the textbook.  In addition, you will not receive credit for notes with printouts as your notes.  Finally, if you decide to print copies of these, please be sure to select "Outline View" from the print page setup menu in order to print the outline form and not the slides form.  Any questions, please see me.
