This calendar lists the lecture topics for the course, the instructor in charge of each lecture, and assignment due dates. Most lectures were delivered at MIT, and video-casted live to the National University of Singapore (NUS). Some lectures were delivered at NUS, and video-casted live to MIT. In rare circumstances, students watched a taped lecture.
