Useful class notes!

These notes - in powerpoint format - cover several of the areas we have covered so far. Please remember that these notes should not be substitued for textbooks and other literature which cover these research areas. Therefore, I expect that you will consult various texts to get a stronger grasp of the relevant research concepts.
