Great lecture.
Unfortunately the slides available for download are not the same as the ones used by Mr. Nigam. Otherwise I find the lecture very informing and well presented.
Thank You.

Very informative. Thank you.


Comment3 Rinaldo, January 4, 2009 at 3:06 p.m.:

Well done detailed lecture on how to do things, unlike many others were presenters throw formula's on the screen and leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine how to put it into practice.
