These notes are generated. They are written against the official syllabus week by week, and the section numbers are the ones the syllabus names; the book itself was not read into them. They cover the common curriculum of the course, not one particular section: this term it runs in 5 sections with 4 different instructors. Before an exam, check them against your own instructor's slides; those are what bind you.
