Lectures
(Most) Labs Take Place in S-2-41.
These pages will gradually fill up with PDF files for all sorts of things - problem sets, solutions, examples, handouts... but for all of them, you'll need the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have it already, it's a free download - go here for more information. In addition, you’ll need to have access to a spreadsheet program for the analysis of your data. I’ll be using Microsoft Excel, which is available in the computer labs.
