Lecture Notes

The course notes were written by John Belcher, Peter Dourmashkin, and Sen-Ben Liao.

The TEAL classroom includes the opportunity for students to use the Personal Response System (PRS). Questions are posed to the class to stimulate discussion and indicate how concepts are going over. Students "vote" on answers electronically and their answers are tallied.
