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
10 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. (10 items)
Materials by section
Grouped by section, as MIT organized them. Not sequenced or ordered.
