Notes

These are handwritten notes/slides that I prepare to help me teach the course. Although I use them to save the writing time in class, since there are things which can be discussed in other classes.

If you don't have linux machine with you, there are some online tools, which are helpful to do the same job. One of them is explained here. (All slides in one)
