Acknowledgment
The first edition of ADA took place in Fall 2016, created and taught by Michele Catasta. Over the years, the class has evolved from the starting point of that first edition, and a significant chunk of the material is still based on Michele’s original version. I am deeply obliged to Michele for laying this foundation.
