How this course was organized
What's here, and what isn't
- A lecture sequence of 12 items is confirmed. Assignment and exam materials exist too, but MIT's own order for them could not be verified, so they're shown as materials below rather than a sequence.
Not included here
6 items from the source could not be safely included:
- MIT's page format for this item wasn't recognized clearly enough to place it safely. (3 items)
- Referenced in a table, but without MIT's own verified order, so it isn't used to claim a sequence. (3 items)
Materials by section
Grouped by section, as MIT organized them. Not sequenced or ordered.
