Lectures

Lectures will be in person, and they will be recorded. Recordings will be made available (through ELMS-Panopto) later in the day. If anything seems to be missing from this page, please send me a reminder. I often forget to post materials. Note that the lecture recordings can also be found on the class ELMS page, under "Panopto".
