Below you will find the lecture plan and the link to the lecture slides archive.
Since we have international students in the course, all lectures will be held in english.

Note: This is a preliminary schedule. Some changes are planned at the later lectures.
Due to the changes, there will be changes above. Dugga contents will be adjusted accordingly.
Lecture slides
Lecture slides will appear here, generally shortly before or after the lectures. If you want to check out the slides before the lecture, you can find old versions by the link below.
Note that some lecture notes are very few pages. That is simply when I have worked a lot on the whiteboard.
There may be overlap between the PDF's, when material has been included in the presentation for one lecture but delayed to the next.
PDFs from 2026 are/will be here: pdf26
PDFs from 2025 are here: pdf25
PDFs from 2024 are here: pdf24
PDFs from 2023 are here: pdf23
Old lecture videos (2021) are here: videos These are from 2021, not 100% matching today’s material.
