We will cover Chapters 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 12. Not all material in each
chapter will be covered. We will be using Matlab extensively throughout
the semester. Matlab is available on most CISE machines.
There will be approximately 10-12 homeworks, and two midterms.
The second midterm will only cover the material after
the mid
term.
The first midterm will most likely be held in class on Thursday, October 14th. The second midterm will most
likely be held on Wednesday, December
8th. The grading
percentages are homeworks (30%), midterm 1 (35%) and midterm 2 (35%).
Homeworks will be assigned and due on Thursdays in class unless
otherwise noted. If you are unable to turn in the homework by the end
of class Thursday, you can turn in the homework late with a 30% penalty
before 5pm, Friday. (Please indicate this by writing "LATE" at the
top of your homework.) We will award no credit for homeworks received
after Friday 5pm.
