These notes are not complete; they are drawn from the notes I have available in my computer. Some classes used other notes, which I cannot easily upload (and in some cases do not have available at all). Be aware that I sometimes cover subjects in class that are not in these notes, and that some parts of these notes, for one reason or another, do not get used in lectures. They are an aid and a guideline, and are not a substitute for paying attention or taking your own notes.
Dates and chapter numbers beyond the present or upcoming week should be considered tentative.
