I have been asked by students to provide specific cross-references for each section. I have now added such references, which can be found on the title page of each section. Links to these books can be found at the bottom of the main page (in CMS).

I have also been asked to create a separate set of slides for each lecture. Please note, however, that the sequential slides are hyperlinked so that you can easily click through to the referenced point. For this obvious reason, I will not comply with this request.
