Please download electronic versions of lecture notes (http://www.webhard.net, in preparation) with lecturers’ names ahead for yourself to be better prepared for summer school courses. Dr. Chung Il Lee will update the above site as soon as he receives additional materials from lecturers, so check the above site until you leave your country. If you have any problem with downloading these files, please contact Dr. Lee directly. Local organizers will provide you with a printed version of lecture notes at the registration desk. As color printing would be limited during the summer school period, please bring your own printed color version if you think it is of help to you.
