 ***These lecture notes are in the form of  PDF files, which can be viewed in one of three ways:

1 - Save the lecture note file, then you can view or print the notes at your leisure using "Acrobat Reader"* (see below)..

2 - Configure your web browser to load Acrobat Reader* on start-up so that the notes are automatically loaded when you select the lecture notes for each day.

3 - Place the Adobe Acrobat Plugin, which comes with Acrobat Reader*, in the plug ins folder of your web browser.*  This will automatically load reader into your browser to view the notes.

Note that these pages may take a minute or two to download if you are using a modem connection.

*The web browsers in the campus computer labs are already configured to automatically load Adobe Acrobat to allow you to view PDF files.  If you are accessing this page from your home system you may need to get a copy of Acrobat Reader, to view PDF files.  Acrobat Reader is freeware which can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/ for use as a plug-in with your web browser.  There is also on-line documentation there which may be helpful.
