Invitation

Note that the slides have very little text. The ones with animation do not always render well in PDF files. Any slides with video embedded in them will not play properly without the movie file. This will be made available when possible. We do plan to post video recording of each lecture. Those will show up here as soon as they are available.

The slides are written in Openoffice.org format. Click here to download the free Openoffice.org software.
