Lecture Slides

Lecture slides are available as self-contained .html files made with RevealJS from a Quarto .qmd file. You can choose to print these to a PDF document by using the “PDF Export Mode” in the Tools menu accessed via the settings button in the lower left-hand side of the page. You are also welcome to directly download the .qmd file and supporting data/images/etc… from the Github repository. Slides are organized by week and combine Monday and Wednesday’s lectures.
