EOSC 112 Lecture Notes:

Lecture notes are available in Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt) files and in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files. The pdf files are more suited for printing on a printer, while the ppt files are better for animated display on the screen. (The Adobe Acrobat Reader is free software that can be downloaded from the web site http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html).

The lectures are given by LP (L. Pandolfo) and EP (E. Pakhomov). For instance, "Jan8_LP" is the lecture given by LP on January 8.
