Lecture Outlines

The following are lecture outlines for this course. These are the outlines from the last time that I taught the course. I expect that this semester I will revise some of my lectures given both the changes in the world and changes in the discipline. I will update the lecture outlines as necessary to reflect the content covered this semester.
