Friday’s lecture

Hi all

The lecture notes are now updated for Friday.  The regular link still gives all the notes in slide format, as before.  But here is a link to just Friday’s notes:

in a more compact format.  If this is more useful, I’ll come up with some way to regularly supply the notes in this format.

Technical note: to do this one has to split the big PDF file into sub-PDFs, one for each lecture.  This is not so easy to do using pure TeX. Here’s what I did: use the hyperref package to put a PDF bookmark at the beginning of each lecture, and then use the free software PDFsam (Split and Merge) to explode the big PDF into sub-files by bookmark level.
