Current week is highlighted in yellow. Topics may change slightly (or order of topics).

I'll do my best to post the slides before lecture, but if not possible I will post at the beginning of lecture either to canvas or github - historically in that room canvas works better for some reason. I had the opposite with another class in a different room.
