Story Line StoryLine.pdf (Dec 7) This summarizes the course. However, to use the hypertext features, you must use the whole set of lecture notes PDynamicsLectures2018Dec7.pdf. Story Line is at the end.
Video: Chaos is recommended in 1.10
I found these videos after designing the outline of the course, but they give almost a parallel line of the whole story.
Some portions (maybe 70% or more) may be too elementary, but watch while eating or drinking.
