Schedule#
This is the schedule for the semester. This page will be frequently updated based on how we progress and everything is subject to change. Homeworks and links to the lecture will be provided here for easy reference to the calendar. The assignments refer to the homework following a class meeting. So if on a particular date it says watch a video, that is for next time! Recording of class discussion is always automatically posted after class in NYU Classes.
