Abridged lecture notes will be available on the web the night before each lecture.5You can download and print them from http://pruffle.mit.edu/3.00--looking over the notes briefly before the lecture is a good idea. As you will see, they are designed for you to add notes during the lectures. Just printing the notes and reading them in lieu of attending lectures is not a good idea--the notes are designed as an aid to your comprehension and retention of lectures. Also, as described below, printing the lectures and taking notes on them will also provide another means of accruing points towards your final grade.
Copies of the notes will not be provided you--you must download and print them yourselves. Many of the figures are in color. It is not necessary to print them in color, but it may prove to be useful.
