Here are course notes from classes I've taken in the past. If you find any typos or other errors, please email me at lindrew@stanford.edu, and I'd be happy to fix them as soon as I can. Course notes marked in gray aren't quite at the level of polish I'd like yet -- expect updates in the future. Notes here that are published are done so with the permission of the course staff, but please note that all course content is owned by MIT / Stanford and their professors, while mistakes should be attributed to me (in transcription or interpretation -- they were not checked by instructors).

Relevant information

I take notes using Overleaf and my own LaTeX style package (download it here, see sample project here). These documents are meant to be a close transcription of lecture, plus any additional thoughts that come to me. I hope this makes the material easy to follow, and it also helps me be a more active learner.

Some of these notes are less clean than others, because I was still learning to live-TeX, had trouble following along with the pace of the class while typing, or was just tired. I occasionally go back to previous notes, reviewing the material myself and improving their quality. Thank you for your patience on this front!

I'm aware that some people read my notes to pass an ASE, as a replacement for going to classes, or in preparation for future coursework. I'm flattered, but please don't blame me if I miss anything! Specifically for Stanford grad students, the MATH 205/210/215 A/B notes may be helpful for qual prep, but you should definitely still read textbooks and study past exams as your primary study method.
