Lecture notes, slides and videos
The lecture notes (in HTML) and slides (in PDF) are posted below before the lecture.
The slides are available in two forms: either one page per sheet, with all animations expanded (1pps) or four pages per sheet, with all animations collapsed (4pps).
The videos of the 2021 edition of the course are also available. Notice however that there have been some changes to the material since then, but the videos will not be updated. So if you plan to follow the course remotely, be aware that in some cases you will have to rely on the lecture notes alone.
