MA210 year 2021-22

Notes

Hey, I'm Domenico, and this is an informal reference page for the course MA210.

I prepared a guide for our first year students. Even if it was meant for first year students, I think you might find in it some interesting parts. I am more than happy to hear feedback, and I am open to suggestions about additional material.

The real reason I had to create this page is to share some notes for our classes.

Class 1
Class 2
Class 3
Class 4
Class 5
Class 6
Class 7
Class 8
Class 9. Video on codes.

This is YOUR chance!

Do you have a great suggestion for the classes? You want to have a voice in how things are done? Help me to help you! You can complete this anonymous survey. You can find the link here or scan the QR code.

If you access the survey, please complete it: it was created with a free tool, and it can be only activated 40 times.

Please let me know if you are planning on coming at this extra office hour.

There is some wonderful material that you can freely find online on YouTube. Some of my favourite (learning) channels are:
1. MIT OpenCourseWare,
2. Stanford,
3. Harvard.
You might need to surf a while to find a course that interests you, but the quality of the material is really impressive, as much as the variety of the content.

I'd like to remind to foreign students that in the UK the access to many file-sharing websites dedicated to the spread of academics journals and scientific books, such as LibGen, Sci-hub (of which there exists also the Telegram bot: @scihubot), is restricted and illegal. Among these restrictions, the fact that it is not possible to access these websites from most common browser (with the exception perhaps of Opera on VPN mode). The access to this almost infinite array of free resources, many of which not available anymore in other formats, is therefore not suggested.
