The dates for the lecture notes are tentative. The content
may also be slightly adjusted during the semester.
The lecture notes posted on this site give you an idea about what we do in the class. However, during the lectures, I will most
probably cover more or different material than in this lecture notes. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to study by using the notes that we write in class.
