Section links/Section 104/Lecture slides
From UBCMATH WIKI
< Section links | Section 104
- I will post lecture slides after class. If they don't appear within a day, feel free to contact me to remind me to post them.
- The staged version of each set of slides shows every stage of the slides, as shown in class. The collapsed versions are generally smaller files with all stages collapsed into a single page (sometimes with overlapping text and hard to read).
- As the term progresses, I will fill in the links to this year's slide - red links are empty for now. You can look at last year's slides if I am late to post the new ones (scroll down).
