The online lectures are organized by class, exactly as
in the original syllabus and placed in the respective
folder.  You should find both mp4 and webm formats:
different browsers like different formats (my chrome 
is fine with either, firefox likes webm, and I think
any microsoft browser will only eat mp4).  If you have
problems try the YouTube version as youtube will automatically
deliver what your browser can eat.

The usual assignments list will be updated as usual
and should include the youtube links to the videos 
that are also in the ClassXX folder.  Currently homework
is not being "collected" but the current plan is,
following a zoom meeting on Friday, to "collect" by
having you scan-to-pdf your solution pages (probably using
a cell phone app) or by directly writing your solution
in Word (or better) app (but its actually pretty hard to
write mathematics in Word).

I want to emphasize some problems (minor compared
to today's world-wide problems) relevant to the class.
With one-way communication via video, you don't get to
ask questions and I don't get to look into your eyes
for signs of confusion.  When you walk into a classroom
a lifetime of experience kicks in telling you go "brains on",
whereas the experience of watching YoueTube videos suggests
exactly the opposite.  (You will need to create the classroom
vibe on the screen.)  I think it's inevitable that without
person-to-person teaching, learning is going to require more careful
attention to the textbook (which of course is fairly dense 
mathematics).  I've been told that students have counted the
steps between the library and my office to determine the
shortest path.  Similarly online you'll need to find the
shortest path to conversations with me.  I know questions
are often not the sort that can be easily be put in an email
(e.g., "I have no idea what you're talking about" vs. "what is
the surface area of a sphere") but that can be a start.
I think I'll often try to respond with a generally available
video as others probably also have your question but can't
think how to begin.  You can also initiate a zoom meeting
with me or your usual helpmates.

Of course, what we really need is a list of solutions
not a list of problems, so let's all be thinking about
possible solutions. (And the plan is I'll literally be 
seeing you on Friday.)


Pray for a covid-19 free world!
Be lonely and wash your hands!
