Winterfest 2012 - Lecture Notes
Updated January 24th, 2012 - In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and help keep everyone more organized, we will be offering a FREE flash drive with these notes pre-loaded to every Winterfest participant. If you would like a hard copy during the event, please feel free to download the presentations below and copy them at home.
Please download each section for each talk - in some cases a Powerpoint file will be available with the flash drive
