Detailed notes with the plan of each lecture (goals of the day, main
facts and problems to be discussed in class) have been written in order
to assist you throughout the course and they can be purchased at any
UK bookstore. These notes are designed to be handy
to consult both while learning the material and while reviewing for
the midterms. By using these notes in class, you should spend little time
taking notes while devoting more time to understanding the material explained
during the lectures.
In general, the notes will contain a wealth of examples and exercises
greater than what can possibly be covered during class time.
You will be given the tools (and you are urged) to work out on your own
the unsolved problems. In case of difficulty, please inform your instructor
about the specific problem at the beginning of the next class period.
For your convenience, though, we will provide an answer key to the
various activities. Namely, detailed answers will be posted a few days after
a given lecture.
It is almost needless to say (yet we stress it!) that the solutions provided
below are by no means designed as a substitute for attending class!
In fact, you might find
the notes hard to use if you have not been to class, since they have been
crafted to promote interaction between the instructor and the students
during class.
