Jump to list of slides.

It's a losing proposition...

In the past, I have resisted posting lecture notes or slides publically, because the slides do not represent everything that I say in the lecture or that is important for the course. For this reason, here's my disclaimer:

DO NOT

rely on these slides instead of taking notes. Some slide-sets are more complete than others, in terms of providing "all" the details from a lecture. As you know, I sometimes use the board or printouts from database-searches: these notes are not represented on the slides. The slides are not a comprehensive presentation of the course material.

Notes about format

Please keep in mind that I am not your best source of information about technical bugs you may encounter using these materials: I suggest working with assistants in various computer clusters, or sending email to help@cc.gate ch.edu. I have prepared these files as best I can in consultation with experienced users here at the CoC.

1. Available NOW:The first format which will be available on these pages are simple PostScript (.ps) files. You can download these files to an account for later printing. To view them onscreen, I understand that UNIX machines can use functions of Ghostscript, such as the browser plug-inGhostview.

2. Available SOON:I'll create .pdf files as soon as I can access the appropriate tools here at CoC. To view .pdf (PostScript Display Format) files, download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader and install it on your workstation. HINT: Acrobat is available on Library cluster workstations for use with certain GALILEO databases, so you may wish to use those machines to view CS2250 slides, although you will have to pay for printouts.
