All the Slides

All the slides in one big PDF.

Slides

Note that these slides are reminders to me as to what topics I should cover: like all units, you are expected to read around the subject and refer to your lecture notes. Don't treat the slides as the entirety of your study.

I have skipped some material in lectures (e.g., Presentation and Applications): why not improve your general education and read the extra too! The exam will only be set on material covered in lectures and your lecture notes will tell you what was covered in lectures.
