- Class notes are in three different formats.
- PowerPoint (ppt) and Adobe Acrobat (pdf) are two formats of the same materials. You need to download only one of them. The ppt format is the original format, but because of a large file size, it is not always available on this space-limited server. In such a case, pdf should be sufficient.
- Mathematica
is a format for complementary materials that are
different from those in ppt or pdf. It is interactive
with computation demonstration and is an important
format for the lecture. You can download Math 11 from http://www.wolfram.com/
, and request a student license from UH
software IT service.
- Do not attempt to open a file in a web browser (plug-ins problem), it's best to download and save.
