The lectures are culled from two semesters of the same course, the spring semesters of 1976 and 1978. In some instances, Salvadori re-used lectures from previous years, or merged lectures from several previous dates, so that dates marked on the initial pages of lectures do not necessarily correspond to the dates on which the lectures were given. The lectures are numbered in the order in which Professor Salvadori gave them; the 1976 lectures number from 2 to 12 and the 1978 lectures number from 1 to 12.
