My lecture notes(BMC,Sasthamcottah) are available in Word Format documents.Remember that the material is prepared to help me teaching, not as your only study material. Effective learning requires reading the textbook, attending classes, looking at my class materials and adding your own notes to the class materials.

The materials presented are initially created for my presentation in the classroom and thus cannot replace the book. They may help you in following the class and get a better feeling on which topics I have covered more deeply and which topics I put aside. Please let me know whenever you find errors in the materials.

My lecture notes are based on the early version of David Patterson and Carl Hamacher. Due to copyright reasons these materials can only be used for educational purposes in conjunction with the textbook. Permission for commercial purposes should be obtained from the original copyright holder and the successive copyright holders including me.
