How this course was organized
What's here, and what isn't
- A lecture sequence of 2 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
55 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. (52 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.
