Preface

The purpose of this web page is to provide links to supplementary materials, some of which may be of use at some point in this course. All of the materials are available via the CSUN Library online databases. I recommend selecting the highest-quality print output that is available. Often, this means selecting the "PDF" format (for binary files) or the "print" format (for text files) if those selections are available.
