Recorded Lectures

These lectures were recorded during Fall 2020. People may find them useful for review but please be aware that every year there are differences in topics covered, so this is by no means presented as a substitution for in-class lectures. These are only available to current and former students, so don’t ask for access if you don’t fall into one of those groups. Note that these videos are for your own personal use in this class and all rights for the videos and other course materials are reserved by me (Copyright 2020 by Rob Hicks. All rights reserved.). Here is a list of notes and videos (in order) for each week of class in Fall 2020. Note that since Fall 2020 was a compressed semester the weeks listed do not correspond to normal semester weeks.
