Course Outline
The documents in the following links are in EPUB format as eBooks. All PowerPoint transitions are embedded step-by-step, exactly the same as those taught during the in-class lecture.
- You can easily read them on Mac OS using the Books app. These eBooks will be automatically saved to your eBook app for easy access.
- On Windows OS,
- You can install the Adobe Digital Editions application to open the Ebooks. The reading experience is very similar to the Books app on MacOS.
- The EPUBReader plugin for Edge/Chrome is also recommended. You can use other readers, but I will leave you to test them.
- Download the eBooks first, then open Edge/Chrome, click the EPUBReader plugin button, and open the eBooks individually to view the content.
- If you just want to browse through the slides without these transitions, go to the Lecture Notes section and download the linked PDFs there.
