The course consists of the following set of lectures. We will aim to do slightly more than one per week. All lectures will be given in person (14:15, [Seminarzimmer 4.1](https://vorlesungsverzeichnis.unibas.ch/ajax/room.cfm?id=8210)), but [video versions](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaU1vYImkPDxyqJ6zHAs8W92fYKsfXsV-) of many lectures are available also.

## Final Project
As in previous years, we'll have a final project instead of a standard exam. The main aim of this is for you to demonstrate understanding of the topics in the course. The format is fairly free to allow you to do this in a way that suits you best. Collaboration will be fine. But everyone needs something unique to submit.
