There are links to the slides for each lecture below. All slides are in PDF format, both full size and 4-up.
There are pointers into the course book (Michael R. Hansen, Hans Rischel: Functional Programming Using F#) telling, for each lecture, where to find the corresponding topics in the book. The directions for reading tell what parts of the book are of relevance for the written exam.
Links to the zoom meetings will be found at the course place in Canvas. There you will also find the recorded lectures since last year.
Here is the official schedule for the course.
