Textbook Chapters

Every chapter of the two course textbooks, its sections, and the lectures that teach it.

The chapter text is copyrighted, so it is not published on this site. It is rendered in the instructor's private copy of the course site, where the Read links open each chapter with its equations and figures. Students: use your copy of the textbook alongside the lecture slides.
