Some of these Lectures may take a minute or two to start playing.

On some (but not all) slides, you’ll see (or hear) an explanation of the slide.  When the audio/video is finished, you may need to left-click to get to the next slide.  Some clips have partial transcripts in the "notes" section.

Please avoid getting too far ahead.  I sometimes update these lectures a week or two before the quiz due dates.
