CS501 -- Lecture Notes

Here's what I have so far. The slides are gzip'd, 4-up and in Postscript. A few are in colour.

Re: gzip'd files -- If your web browser is correctly configured, this will be invisible to you; your browser will auto-decompress and launch the Postscript viewer. Otherwise, you may need to decompress them manually using a gzip utility such as gunzip (available under Unix, perhaps NT too).
