Topical Lectures

These lectures can be used by themselves. In other words, they are not associated with any particular lesson in the textbook. They are here to provide clear explanations of some topics that can be confusing and tricky.

To save each file, right-click and select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As." For easier downloading, some of the MP3 audio recordings on this page are grouped together into a compressed .zip file. After you download the compressed .zip file to your computer's hard drive, you will need to unpack the recordings by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Extract All." To listen to one of the MP3 files, simply double-click on it. Each file includes the necessary metadata for adding the files to your music library, or for seeing the title of each track on your portable MP3 player.
