Lecture Notes

The notes linked below are required reading, but they are not a substitute for attending lecture and recitation. The lectures and recitation sections are tightly coupled: Lectures will assume knowledge from previous sections, and vice-versa. These notes should be read sequentially (Monday's section, Tuesday's lecture, Wednesday's section, Thursday's lecture, etc.).

Lecture topics and assignment due dates are subject to change.
