Lecture Schedule
Slides will be uploaded here (and on Canvas Files), usually before each lecture.
The lectures themselves might often deviate significantly from the
textbooks in the order, presentation, and actual content. Thus, it is
mandatory to attend a lecture live or view its video asynchronously.
