Morrison's Lecture Notes
In conjunction with the July-August 1999
ITP Workshop on Geometry and Physics, David Morrison has
allowed us to post preliminary versions
of two sets of lecture notes:
- 1999 TASI Lectures (lecture III):
pdf file (>1 MB), or html/gif
files
- 1988 Notes on the Geometry of K3 Surfaces:
available in
pdf, PostScript, or
dvi formats.
In conjunction with his second pair of lectures, he also suggests the
following references:

at TASI '96, hep-th/9611137.
