This is the “pre-production” version of student-facing course notes page. Organize and make edits here before copying to student-facing page. Write all new notes in the 183_notes namespace, so that they are public by default, but hidden by lack of links. Remember students do not have access to this page because it is in a restricted namespace (course_planning), but do have access to the public namespace (183_notes).
Course Notes and Videos
Pre-class notes and video lectures are contained in the pages below. The material is organized by class week. Notice that some weeks (e.g., Week 2) have more readings and videos than others (e.g., Week 4), so please plan accordingly. We have tried to ensure that each week's pre-class work will take less than 1 hour.
The organization of the course notes by week is a matter of convenience. It means that we do not expect you to have read about future material for the current week, but it does not mean that you will not go back and look at old material for current work.
Computational Modeling
The notes and videos on computational modeling will be useful throughout the course and should be viewed (at least once) during the first full week of the course.
