*In creating many of the lecture notes here, I got inspiration from some of the teaching materials and lecture notes graciously shared by many professors/researchers from different universities/organizations. As an open-source supporter, hereby, I acknowledge them all and extend my many thanks to all of them for publicly sharing their course materials!
