This page provides links to overheads shown by Dr.
Lind during lectures. In order to print the Greek letters and many math
symbols correctly, the lectures are saved as Adobe .PDF files, with two
transparencies per page. In order to read PDF files you need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on
your computer. If you do not have a copy of the Acrobat Reader, you can
download a copy free of charge from the Adobe web site.
