Lecture Notes for 2003


The PPT files are subject to significant change up to 4 PM the day of the lecture (Tue). The lecture videos are usually available Wed afternoon. To watch the videos, you’ll need to have RealPlayer (http://www.real.com/) installed.

 

The videos will soon become password protected. To access the videos, use the first 8 digits of your HUID as username and the first 8 characters of your last name as password. If it doesn’t work, that means we don’t have your HUID on record. Please contact Lan with your HUID.
