Talks

Enclosed below are slides from a few of my recent talks. Some are in Postscript®, in which case there is a PDF® version as well; others are HTML converted from Powerpoint® or OpenOffice. (Note: If you need a Postscript viewer, try Ghostscript.)

I've played a bit with MagicPoint, a free presentation tool for X11-based systems. In such cases, I've included the derived HTML, Postscript, and PDF.
