Lecture Notes and new materials are available on the class Blackboard site available through myUK.

Class homeworks are available as PDF files.  You need to have a copy of Adobe Reader to open these. 

Class Homework Sets

All homework can be done in MS Word, OpenOffice, Pages, or any other word processor that can be opened by MS Word. If and when you use LaTeX to create your files, send me, at the minimum, the .dvi file and the .tex file (if not also the .pdf file).

If you use some program other than those mentioned above, please contact me so I can check that I can handle the files on the UK system.

 All homework may (and probably should) be submitted electronically.  The preferred method is the electronic dropbox in BlackBoard, but until that is active you may email me your files.
