~~NOTOC~~ ====== Course Notes and Videos ====== Pre-class notes and video lectures are contained in the pages below. The material is organized by class week. Notice that some weeks (e.g., Week 2) have more readings and videos than others (e.g., Week 4), so please plan accordingly. We have tried to ensure that each week's pre-class work will take less than 1 hour. The organization of the course notes by week is a matter of convenience. It means that we do not expect you to have read about future material for the current week, but it does not mean that you will not go back and look at old material for current work. /*{{ vimeo>138195778?large | First Day Slides -
