How this course was organized

What's here, and what isn't

MIT lists a session calendar for this course, but it could not be verified well enough to build a sequence from it — materials are grouped by section instead.

Not included here

3 items from the source could not be safely included:

Referenced in a table, but without MIT's own verified order, so it isn't used to claim a sequence. (2 items)
MIT's page format for this item wasn't recognized clearly enough to place it safely.
