Course Notes 12 U
The following links will provide you with several versions of notes for this course. You�should print them all out. This will enable you to come to class with a complete set of�notes,�hence the need for copying, photocopying and board writing will be avoided. This will save a lot of class time which can be better spent learning the material and working thru problem exercises.
