Important Note:

You will want to look at each lesson after it is covered in class, and perhaps once before as well. There are links above to HTML versions of the sessions (which you can read but not execute). If the graphics don't show up correctly with your version of Internet Explorer, try Netscape instead. The M-files (which are short ascii files) can be downloaded here on a one-by-one basis or here as a single zip-archive.
