A note about the recording quality: These recordings were made using a retrofit automatic recording system (https://ist.mit.edu/lecture-capture) that is relatively inexpensive. It was installed in some MIT classrooms during the covid pandemic to make it easy to record classes for students who could not make it to class. Ideally, we would've been able to record these lectures at much higher video and audio quality. If you want to support such efforts, consider donating.
