How this course was organized

What's here, and what isn't

A lecture sequence of 25 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

48 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. (47 items)
Referenced in a table, but without MIT's own verified order, so it isn't used to claim a sequence.
