📚 Notes for some of my courses at University of Toronto

continued at tingfengx/uclanotes…

Notes that have already finished typesetting:

📒 2021 Winter

• CSC317/CSC418. Identification and characterization of the objects manipulated in computer graphics, the operations possible on these objects, efficient algorithms to perform these operations, and interfaces to transform one type of object to another. Display devices, display data structures and procedures, graphical input, object modelling, transformations, illumination models, primary and secondary light effects; graphics packages and systems. Students, individually or in teams, implement graphical algorithms or entire graphics systems.

📙 2020 Fall

• CSC420. Introduction to basic concepts in computer vision. Extraction of image features at multiple scales. Robust estimation of model parameters. Multiview geometry and reconstruction. Image motion estimation and tracking. Object recognition. Deep Learning approaches to vision.

📘 2020 Winter

• STA414/CSC412. Probabilistic foundations of supervised and unsupervised learning methods such as naive Bayes, mixture models, and logistic regression. Gradient-based fitting of composite models including neural nets. Exact inference, stochastic variational inference, and Marko chain Monte Carlo. Variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks.
• CSC309, Programming on the Web. Notes on technical stuff covered in the course.
• ENV200, Science and Environment. Consisting of notes from the book and lecture slides. (Archived)
• CSC413 (Archived). An introduction to neural networks and deep learning. Backpropagation and automatic differentiation. Architectures: convolutional networks and recurrent neural networks. Methods for improving optimization and generalization. Neural networks for unsupervised and reinforcement learning.

📗 2019 Fall

• CSC258, Computer Organizations. In plain HTML. Topics include computer structures, machine languages, instruction execution, addressing techniques, and digital representation of data. Computer system organization, memory storage devices, and microprogramming. Block diagram circuit realizations of memory, control and arithmetic functions.
  • Midterm Pre-test checklist
  • Final Review Notes (Mainly On Assembly)
• PHL245, Modern Symbolic Logic. (Currently archived)
• CSC311, A cheat sheet for the exams, as allowed by the course syllabus. (Archived) Please note that this version was not finished. If you want to find an usable open source cheat sheet for CSC311, I point you to these aid sheets by @AndyTQ.
• CSC373, Miscellaneous notes from MIT open courseware (6.006 and 6.046J). Focusing on NP-completeness: polynomial time reductions, examples of various NP-complete problems, self-reducibility.
• STA302. Introduction to data analysis with a focus on regression. Initial Examination of data. Correlation. Simple and multiple regression models using least squares. Inference for regression parameters, confidence and prediction intervals. Diagnostics and remedial measures. Interactions and dummy variables. Variable selection. Least squares estimation and inference for non-linear regression.

📕 2019 Winter

• MAT224, Linear Algebra II. Collection of (nearly) all the theorems presented in the book/mentioned during lecture. Topic include fields, complex numbers, vector spaces over a field, linear transformations, matrix of a linear transformation, kernel, range, dimension theorem, isomorphisms, change of basis, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonalizability, real and complex inner products, spectral theorem, adjoint/self-adjoint/normal linear operators, triangular form, nilpotent mappings, Jordan canonical form.
• STA261, Statistics II. A manuel for common test statistics. Topics include statistical models, parameters, and samples. Estimators for parameters, sampling distributions for estimators, and the properties of consistency, bias, and variance. The likelihood function and the maximum likelihood estimator. Hypothesis tests and confidence regions.
• MAT237, Advanced Calculus. A Collection of Theorems, with focus on fall 2018 term which was not present in the notes that I typesetted together with @yuchenWYC. Topics include sequences and series. Uniform convergence. Convergence of integrals. Elements of topology in R^2 and R^3. Differential and integral calculus of vector valued functions of a vector variable, with emphasis on vectors in two and three dimensional euclidean space. Extremal problems, Lagrange multipliers, line and surface integrals, vector analysis, Stokes’ theorem, Fourier series, calculus of variations.

Other notes that I participated in typesetting:

• MAT237, Advanced Calculus, a short guide to theorems, lemmas and propositions. This particular set of notes was made together with @yuchenWYC. @AndyTQ et al. also made some useful comments for the improvment of the .tex file. They are available here.

💻 Typesetting in \LaTeX

Most of these notes were written with a software called TeXpad. Unfortunatelly, this brilliant application is only available on MacOS right now. But if you are using a Mac, I would highly recommend you try it out. (I was not paid by TeXpad in anyway lol. )

(Legacy) Compiling with Makefile

- Compiled using ```pdflatex```: `````` $ pdflatex --version pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019) kpathsea version 6.3.1 Copyright 2019 Han The Thanh (pdfTeX) et al. `````` - Compilation automated with ```latexmk```: `````` $ latexmk -version Latexmk, John Collins, 26 Dec. 2019. Version 4.67 `````` This is particularly useful to automate the multiple runs of ```pdflatex``` needed for some documents. - Please note that some of these notes used the LaTeX package `minted`. To compile the documents containing `minted` using ```latexmk```, you need to use the shell escape flag. Please (create if not exist) add the following to your `~/.latexmkrc`. `````` $latex = 'latex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape'; $pdflatex = 'pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape'; `````` - [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) is a build automation tool that automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called Makefiles which specify how to derive the target program. In the project, we are using it to automate the compilation of the pdf documents from the LaTeX source codes using ```pdflatex``` as well as clean up all the not needed auxilary log files.
