Preliminary Lecture Plan

The times for the lectures are preliminary and up for discussion to minimize overlap with other courses.

Slides will be linked from the lecture number in advance. For now, the slides from last version of the course are available to give a hint about the lecture content, but expect them to change shortly before the actual lecture is given.

Recomended reading refers to the textbook Linear Estimation.
