Powerpoint Slides
Below you'll find the Powerpoint slides that accompany the 9th and 8th editions of our textbook. There are more than 800 slides, covering each chapter and subsection of the book. The 9th edition slides will continue to be updated periodically.
A note on the use of these ppt slides. We're making these slides freely
available to all (faculty, students, readers). They're in Powerpoint form so you see the animations; and can
add, modify, and delete slides and slide content to suit your needs. They obviously represent a em>lot of effort
(over nearly 30 years!) on our part. In return for use, we only ask the following:
- If you use these slides (e.g., in a class) that you mention their source. After all, we'd like people to use our book!
- If you post any slides on a www site, that you note that they are adapted from (or perhaps identical to) our slides, and note our copyright of this material.
