The first 4:30 is mostly about how the course is to be run, the textbook, etc. If you start at 4:30 you can skip all that. The rest of Lecture 1 is stuff I learned in my 1963 NSF Math Camp in Worcester, MA, for 6 weeks in the summer between my high school Sophomore and Junior years. We studied set theory, number theory, probability, and a weekly special half-day seminar on a different topic. We also had a Wednesday afternoon bowling league and a Saturday afternoon field trip to a beach or amusement park.Gosh... thanks. I'm currently tied up chewing my own arm off but, if my jaw ever gets tired, I'll absolutely click on your 49 minute algebra lecture. Can't really do both with all the screaming and blood loss, you know?
