FAQs

Is the course difficult?

In terms of difficulty, this is of course somehow complicated for me to assess. However, I have tried to make all the content as comprehensible as possible and really do ask you many questions in the lectures. If I have the impression that something has not been understood at all, then I take longer at that point. This semester is the first time I think the course is truly finished. I have adapted the slides based on feedback from the last two years and made all the examples as simple as possible. In a nutshell: If you are interested in the subject and equations do not scare you, you will likely do great in the course.

How can I download PDF slides from the lecture?

You have two options:

Option 1: Download from Github

Option 2: Generate yourself

  1. First, open the lecture you want to download the slides from.
  2. Then, click on the RevealJS button in the top right corner.
  3. Now, click on the three stacked bars in the lower left corner.
  4. Then, click on Tools in the upper left corner.
  5. Now you can select PDF Export Mode and then save the slides as a PDF.
