If you have any issues logging in to view any of the secured documents below, please try adding "uofi\" (without the quotes) in front of your netid.
Course materials are the work of current and prior course staff. Slides and supplementary materials labeled "EVC" are due to Eugene Colla, who is also a coauthor on most of the course lectures.
Note that we have three "breather days" this term, in which no lab will meet. We will not hold lab those weeks, and lab reports from the prior week will be due two days later than normal.
