If by some reason one misses a lecture (e.g. because of of sickness or overlap of schedules ), here is a link to videos of lectures from 2021

https://utb.math.chalmers.se/?Kurskod=LMA017

There are differences and improvements in lectures this year compared with 2021.

I DO NOT recommend to use the videos instead of coming to lectures.
