ANNOTATED SLIDE SHOWS:

These are all in pdf format.  To make file sizes manageable, I've downgraded image resolution a bit, but they should be adequate. SOME OF THE FILES ARE STILL PRETTY LARGE, so be patient about downloading.  If there are problems, let me know.

(ALSO note: I've linked a full set of notes here, but those ahead of where we are in class are likely to be last year's versions; I'll be up-dating some of them as we go.  It shouldn't make a lot of difference.)
