Lecture Notes based on Leonard Susskind's Theoretical Minimum

Disclaimer I have created these notes as an aide-mémoire for my own use; if you find them useful, you are welcome, but I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if you are using them. They are not intended as a substitute for listening to the lectures. The intellectual property for all material derived from the lectures belongs, of course, to Professor Susskind; any mistakes, however, are my own.

The notes were created using TexStudio, and the bibliography by JabRef.
