Lecture Notes
The notes (of powerpoint files) posted here are a superset of the
slides that are used in the lectures. Some of the slides posted here
are not covered in the lecture -- they may either be slides giving more
detail, or covering more topics which were left out in the lecture for
brevity. When appropriate I have mapped the topics to the chapters in
the textbook. I will also be placing several links to other sites --
you should make an effort to visit some of these sites.
Please let me know of errors and typos in the slides/notes.
Some of the lecture notes posted here were taken
from Prof. Ramakrishnan's notes.

useful online material. You must read the Elements of Style and the
Purdue online Writing Lab.
