Lecture Notes






Homework
There will be about 10 homework assignments, which will be posted at least a week before the due date. The lowest one homework grade will be dropped.




Project
Each of students will choose a problem  with some motivation. This will serve as a testbed problem throughout the class. Analysis and synthesis techniques from the class will   be applied to the problem. The abstract, introduction, and  results of the topic will be written in a technical paper format and will be presented in class. See more details in the class syllabus.





Exams
All exams are open book and notes.
