Lecture Notes
The lecture notes posted here
are not meant to substitute
for the text
-- you are expected to read the textbook before and after each class.
The chapters correspond to the textbook chapters.
In some cases I will post detailed notes -- these will go into
more detail (than the book) and you are expected to read them and read
links that I will post to other websites.
Here is a link to an online
database "text" by Tom Jewett. He has
written
it for use as a stand-alone course text, a supplement to standard
textbooks, or a self-study tutorial. Some of you may want to visit
the site and go through the material -- it is easy to read and
makes some concepts simple to understand. If you do
use his materials, please let me know how effective you found them -- I
will pass on the reviews to Tom.
