• 6 Nov 04: A number of changes in the course are being implemented in response to feedback from the midterm survey and the course ombuds:
  • Office hours will be shifted to Sundays from 6-8 pm to try to accomodate more students (everyone was coming at 7 pm and the sections were overcrowded)
  • Copies of the (handwritten) lecture notes from Wednesday lectures will be posted on the web *after* the Wed lectures (usually by Friday)
  • Preprints of the course text for the remaining weeks of the course are now posted on the web
  • When possible we will post selected homework problems from past years and their solutions (including MATLAB code, when appropriate) as a guide for doing this year's problems.
  • We are going to try to list the MATLAB commands that are useful for solving the homeworks on the lecture page for the week. Hopefully this will help students from searching for commands that are avialable to help solve the set
