You can email me at . Please include the string "CA645" somewhere in the subject line if you are doing so, otherwise I will not receive the message. This email address is 15 years old and receives tons of spam (even with spam filters) so I don't read it regularly. However, I have procmail filters set up to ensure that tagged emails do get to me

Lecture Notes

Links to slides from the lectures are below. Since I have a habit of updating the slides from week to week, I have added an additional column showing the date the slides on this page were last updated. In order to save a few trees (and a few €€€ for impoverished students) I will try to avoid adding new slides into the middle and will try to confine myself to adding slides at the end. I hope this helps.
