Lecture Notes

Lecture notes are created by class participants using LaTeX. For some lectures slides are available. We plan to tape all the seminars. The movies are encoded as Windows Media Files (wmv). The file size of a single movie is between 100 MB and 400 MB depending on length and content.

Linux users: download xine to play wmv files here!
