FAQ
Do these pages replace the chapter?
No. Read the linked PDF for the arguments, figures, and exercises. Each outline is a checklist. The FAQ only separates a few easy confusions.
Why is Chapter 12 missing?
The August 19, 2026 draft has not written the Agents chapter. Chapter 1 still introduces agents. The reading path goes from Chapter 11 to Chapter 13.
Which draft is this?
August 19, 2026. Older drafts number the chapters differently. Check the date on the PDF before using a section number from an old syllabus.
