Notes:
The slides above are navigable and clickable (in pdf), with links to relevant web pages (indicated by ), section links in the sidebar, and navigation icons at the bottom of each slide. The reference section for each set of slides includes links to papers, and superscript citation numbers link to the reference section as well (please email me if any links behave badly).If you want a printed copy, the handouts provide condensed and collapsed versions of the slides (2x2 slides per page).
The `lecture' pdf's include all the incremental reveals whereas the `slides' pdf's have flattened frames and are better for reading online.
I use the excellent LaTeX class beamer coupled with some peculiar perl scripts to generate these slides.
