<p>
|
|
This is an outline of the topics we covered in class.
|
|
These notes are <em>not</em> a substitute for your own note-taking.
|
|
I highly recommend that you take your own notes during class.
|
|
If you ever miss a class for any reason, reach out to another student in class to get a copy of their notes.

Let <m>H_i</m> be the height of plant <m>i</m>.
