Course Materials

Syllabus

The syllabus for this course is available here.

DirectMath software

The lecture notes that I post on this page are all written using a software program I have written called DirectMath. To read the lecture notes in DirectMath format, you will need to download and install the DirectMath software.

Click here to download the software for Windows.

Click here to download the software for Macintosh OS X.

Click here to download the software for Macintosh OS 8/9.

The software you download is fully functional and will allow you to read these lecture notes. However, if you want to avoid seeing the registration dialog every time you start up, you should obtain an unlocking code. Unlocking codes are available free of charge for Lawrence students. Simply enter your name and lawrence.edu email address below and click submit. An unlocking code will be sent to you automatically.

Lecture notes

Reading and printing lecture notes

The lecture notes here are organized by date. After each lecture I will post lecture notes both in HTML format and DirectMath format. Clicking on the HTML link shows you the lecture notes in HTML form, which can be viewed from any computer. Clicking on the DirectMath link downloads the lecture notes in DirectMath form. You must have DirectMath installed on your computer to view the notes in that format.

If you would like to print the lecture notes, I recommend you get the note in DirectMath format and select '10 point' from the display menu in DirectMath before printing. This gives the best printed results.
