How this course was organized

What's here, and what isn't

  • This course has 45 videos, each embedded on its own MIT page, across 36 sections. They're shown in MIT's listing order within each section. A verified course-wide order is not claimed for this course.

Not included here

95 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. (90 items)
  • Referenced in a table, but without MIT's own verified order, so it isn't used to claim a sequence. (5 items)

Materials by section

Grouped by section, as MIT organized them. Not sequenced or ordered.
