Please use the webpage of Billiards and Surface Dynamics I for the first half of the course. References and problem sets for the first part will be posted only there. We will use this webpage for the material of Billiards and Surface Dynamics II only.

Streaming and recordings, on the other hand, will all be collected on the Seminar Live webpage of Billiards and Surface Dynamics I + II.

Billiards and Surface Dynamics I+II, which will run for the full semester (14 weeks, 4h per week + 2h exercise class) and cover the full syllabus. References and exercises for the first part, Billiards and Surface Dynamics I, will be posted on the webpage of the first part.
