Weak Lensing and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Abstract

While the strategy for the first applications of weak lensing has been to ``go deep'' it is equally interesting to use one's telescope time to instead ``go wide''. The Sloan Survey (SDSS) provides a natural framework for a very wide area weak lensing survey.
