The course content is divided into three Chapters. Lecture notes for each vhapter will be posted here as we proceed. The lecture notes are the "text" for the course and contain more detailed information and more examples than we will beable to discuss in the Zoom lectures. Students are expected to study the notes carefully as well as participate in the lectures; neither of these is a substitute for the other. The notes are posted in substantial blocks, one for each chapter, but please do not think that you are expected to read them all together or that you will be hit with this much content every week - the weekly updates will highlight which sections of the lecture notes are relevant for each week. You are welcome to read ahead if you want to of course, but it is not expected.
