Description
There are many skips in the lecture and more explanations are needed in many areas, e.g.
- The foundational formulae (in this case the wealth at the next step → a_{t+1})
- Meaning of $\beta R$
- Many other more are in the comments in the notion page
Also, @HumphreyYang and @shlff suggested to add a lecture regarding the utility function as a prerequisite.

Research direction
Review the cons_smooth lecture and the comments referenced from the Notion page, focusing on the wealth-at-the-next-step formula, the meaning of βR, and the other skipped explanations. Also assess the proposed utility-function prerequisite lecture from the suggestions by @HumphreyYang and @shlff. Done means the identified gaps are explained and the prerequisite lecture is added or its scope is resolved.
