Copies of the classnotes are on the internet in PDF format as given below. The "Proofs of Theorems" files were prepared in Beamer. The "Printout of Proofs" are printable PDF files of the Beamer slides without the pauses. The "Proofs of Theorems" files have not been classroom tested and may have some typographical errors; these files were created with the help of Jack Hartsell during the spring 2018 semester.
