The notes and examples shared below are complementary to the lectures. Additional notes may be added throughout the semester, and the existing ones may be updated. Contact me if you encounter any broken links.
Sections marked with an asterisk (*) are left to students as reading assignments. These topics are part of the course content, and students are responsible for learning them. However, I usually discuss them very briefly in my classes due to time restrictions.
"PEQ" stands for Past Exam Question. These questions are adapted from previous exams. They are not identical to the original exam questions but have been modified into educational examples to clarify some important concepts.
