These are course notes that I prepared for the various university subjects that I have taken. Mostly there is one file for each subjects, though for some classes I did not prepare such notes, while in other cases I have split up the notes into multiple files. The number refers to the year level of the course. The large majority are courses I completed at university; some of them are from lecture series that I have listened to and made notes on without formally enrolling in any course. Feel free to use and distribute as desired, but please acknowledge me if you pass these on to anyone or use them for anything other than personal use.
