Note: The slide numbers in the posted slides (linked from the topics website) may sometimes not agree with the slide numbers in the recordings, because I may choose to update the slides after class. The slide numbers mentioned in the text below refer to the posted slides and not to the recordings.

To get the homework assigned in a given class, first look below to see which topics were completed in that class. Then go to the homework website and look for the homework assignments connected to those topics. Homework connected to topics that were started in a class, but not completed are not assigned in that class; only completed topics count. Homeworks are due at the start of the class following the one in which they are assigned.
