Lecture Notes
Read This: Click on a topic to download the Power Point file. Access to Power Point presentations requires a userid [jbb001] and password. If you forgot the password check the link to this page on the Blackboard web site or email me for a reminder (geojbb@hofstra.edu).
I recommend downloading the Power Point files before class and printing them in handout format with 3 to 6 slides per page. This way you can bring the printouts to class and use them for reference and notetaking during lecture.
