BIMM 140 Lectures

This Lecture Web page will contain links to updated versions of the Lecture Notes for BIMM 140, Spring, 2002. The lectures will be entered into the BIMM140 Web site during the course.

I will attempt to post notes for the lectures before the class session so that those who want to can print the notes and bring them to class. In general, I will probably post PDF files of about a weeks of lectures at a time. If you would like to have some other format, let me know and I'll see what I can work out.

CAVEAT: Actual coverage in lecture will vary somewhat most likely from the lectures as outlined below. Lectures marked by blue balls ( ) have been updated to Spring, 2002. Those marked by red balls ( ) are still under construction.

If you would like to try some hands-on experience, have a look at the laboratory exercises from last years BiMM141 lab. This is completely optional and will not be included on exams.

For a preview of what is to come, have a look at last years lectures.
