I am currently using Angel Class Management System . I will no longer update these web pages for my classes. Students in my class should use Angel to get current notes.
Here are links that will allow you to get data you need for the project.

The following notes are in rough draft form. They are not meant to be published anywhere. I am posting them as a convenience for my students. I have not finished editing them, thus they may contain typos, grammatical errors and other such offenses. If you are easily offended by this I suggest you not copy them and take your own notes in class.
