"These notes are of pretty poor quality, since with I was lost with high probability when I wrote them"

That does raise the question though as to why the notes have garnered enough attention to necessitate such a comment from the author. Maybe it isn't a good idea to use these notes as reference, but they are of some value. At the very least it is interesting to see that such a large repository of notes of this form exists. The only other collection that is similar to this that I know of is https://dec41.user.srcf.net/notes/

(Full context for those who are encountering this)
"These are live-TeXed notes for the courses I took/am taking at Harvard. Typing up my notes with a computer is mostly inspired by this site (which is also a good resource). The purpose of writing up these notes is primarily to use as a reference for myself, and I advise great caution to those trying to learn actual math from them. Brackets indicate that you must be extra cautious when consulting them. If you find anything wrong (mathematically wrong claims or even typos) please notify me by email." https://dongryulkim.wordpress.com/notes/course_notes/

#5If Dongryul would add the latex files to the repo and use more descriptive folder names, I suspect that he'd see some pull requests come in to fix errata. If the coursework started at an undergraduate level, I would have been happy to help :-)

There are some undergraduate courses like Math 55a. For a list with descriptive names, they are on his old website https://dongryulkim.wordpress.com/notes/course_notes/

Arun Debray has notes from his undergraduate and graduate programs in mathematics here: https://web.ma.utexas.edu/users/a.debray/lecture_notes/

#8You can take 11 modules in one semester? How do you do that? Even assuming they are all 2h per week, do you have to look at the academic calender (or timetable) and try to find all courses which dont overlap?

Dumb question:
Is there a way to make the margins wider (preferably free)? This may sound odd but I dislike moving my eyes horizontally, and I'd like to take advantage of the notes you've recommended somehow.

You could presumably email Arun and re-compile: "If you want to look over the .tex source for any of these notes, please send me an email."
