By Timothy C. Lethbridge and Robert Laganière

During the period Sept-Dec 2002, lectures from Tim Lethbridge's course SEG 2100, based on this book, were recorded.

Videos of the lectures are available below. The lectures are based on the powerpoint slides prepared for the book, and should help you to learn the material better. Some of the lectures involve interactive solving of problems on the board.

The lectures are provided in RealVideo format from RealNetworks. You can download a free RealOne viewer from RealNetworks for Windows, Macintosh, etc. Once you have the viewer installed, you can click on the streaming video links below; the video should then immediately start playing. However, if you prefer to wait a while but get greater control over playback as well as higher audio and video quality, you can use the 'download' links. Depending on how your browser is configured, you may find that to download properly you need to use your browser's 'save link as' or 'download' functions (and remember to choose 'source' in some browsers when the save dialog appears).

The streaming videos should be viewable over a 56K modem if your line is of good quality. The average size of each downloaded video of lectures 1-9 is 250MB. Starting with lecture 10, we provide separate versions for 56Kbps and 256Kbps connections; this helps people who want to download the videos, since each file is smaller (the 56kbps versions average 20MB and the 256kbs versions average 125MB)

Note: If too many people end up streaming at once, you will notice response problems ... just try again a few hours if that occurs.

Producer of the videos is Adam Murray.

Dr. Lethbridge will also be available to deliver live versions of lectures based on the book at corporate sites, or via distance education. If interested, please email him.
