Dear students,

The slides on this page were designed not only as the course presentation support, but also to serve as a (hopefully) useful tool for study. Therefore, the number of slides may be a bit larger than one may expect, but the only reason for this is related to my intention of making the material as detailed as possible (while keeping it decent for a presentation). I hope the text helps you better focus the learning process, and that you find it as a useful complement to your own lecture notes. As always, feedback is welcome.
