A current rough draft of course notes written by Theo Walter is available for download here. The validity of the notes has not been reviewed. As new sections are added and reviewed the notes will be updated and reposted online. Any major errors, comments, or feedback for improving the notes can be directed to Theo via his email, thwalter@student.ethz.ch.
