This is your starting point for the lecture notes. This page provides you with links to each lecture notes page and presentation resources I used in class, AND has a link to a page devoted entirely on sites to visit for hints on how to be successful in this course.
Keep in mind that you are NOT going to get by on these lecture notes alone. The lecture notes are very general in nature. In order to be successful in this course you will need to attend classes and labs, read the textbook and actively take part in class discussions.
