Please download each week's lab handout, print it out, read it, and write down answers to any "advanced questions" before you come to lab! We will try to make the handout available by about the middle of the preceding week.
These handouts are in Adobe PDF format. If you do not have a copy of Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, you can download Acrobat Reader for free from Adobe's web site. If a lab is available for download, its name is a clickable link which should download a PDF file to your computer.
