Notes
 

Here you'll find loads of notes I've published to help students and colleagues over the years. They're in no particular order and some are a bit out of date. Most are Word files and will open in a separate window. Save them to your space and print. I now have lots of new versions and new topics now in web format which are much better - and will do my best to publish them here soon. Sorry I haven't had the time to do this yet, though! Can't believe September's almost gone already!

If you can't find what you're looking for, try quick notes or contact me. Or check the links pages where lots more resources can be found on other sites.
