11-24-11: Due to the U. of Nebraska-Lincoln's Information Technology Group decommissioning their old Adobe Connect Professional server, the class videos given by the "video" links in the table below will no longer be available starting in December 2011. As a replacement, I will be making new videos for my 2012 class starting in January.

 

 

The table below contains a tentative schedule for this semester and is updated weekly to correspond to topics covered in class.  Lecture notes are available here along with class capture recordings ("video" links).  

Please note that I use MathType for all equations in my Word files.  Sometimes, parts of these equations will not look correct if you do not have MathType's corresponding fonts on your computer.  You can download a free, executable file containing the fonts from their website.  Click here to go to their font installer web page.  While the web page asks for an e-mail address, your e-mail address is not needed to download the fonts.

*Due to having class for an extra 5 or 10 minutes per meeting, we have met this semester for the equivalent time of a standard 1 hour and 15 minute class. 

Below are some additional notes corresponding to the chapters we have covered.  The purpose of these notes is to 1) Provide additional explanations of material covered in class and 2) Cover topics not discussed in class.  You are not responsible for the topics not discussed in class unless specifically mentioned in my lecture notes or during our class. 
bulletChapter 1, Plinko video

bulletChapter 5
bulletChapter 6 - none
