From the authors website... "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/ https://dec41.user.srcf.net/notes/

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

    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."

  Thanks for linking to such a great resource. I am somewhat awed by how much he has learned in his undergrad years. Also, thanks to other posters too. The two other notes sites are also great.

  It is the first time I hear about "Michaelmas" and "Lent" terms [1]. Why not using simple ordinal names? 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_term#United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_term#United_Kingdom

(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/ https://dongryulkim.wordpress.com/notes/course_notes/

At a glance, they look pretty good to me. If I had taken notes of that quality when I was a graduate student in mathematics forty years ago, maybe I would have become a mathematician after all.
