This page provides a tentative schedule of all lectures for the coures. The precise timing of some of these lectures could change. Slides for future lectures are provided, but are from a previous version of the course; updated slides for each lecture will be posted prior to class each day. Lecture videos for the public online course, when they are available, will be posted on this page along with each set of slides.
