Below are lecture notes for 66-272 lectures given by Professor Heimann. Students should be aware that these notes are incomplete and designed to help you follow and take notes in lecture. These notes are not an adequate substitute to coming to class.

These files are MS PowerPoint slides and should be downloaded, not read online. To do this, either right-click (PC) and choose "download link as..." or hold down the mouse button over the link (Mac) to get the same option. If Windows loses the file extension and gives you a generic icon, simply rename (F2) and add the extension ".ppt" at the end.

Even if the links are posted, don't expect it to be active until the day before class.
