Classroom Documents
Below
are some documents that will be useful in this course. Most of them
are example problems that I will use in class.
If you print them out
before class (or bring your laptop to class), you won't have to scribble furiously to write down the
problems during class.
I will add to this list during the semester,
so check back periodically.
