Discussion

Teaching Assistant: Justin Le
Office: TBE B-310
OH: ThF 08:00-10:30

The Discussion section will be used to present computational tools to describe and analyze signals and systems. The course will be taught using Matlab which is available in the Engineering Labs. A student copy of Matlab is available for $99 and can be a very helpful tool in many of your engineering courses.

Grading

ComponentPercentageDate
Midterms: 40% 3/02, 4/6
Final: 30% 12/11 15:10
Homework: 20%
Computer: 10%

Homework will include Matlab programming problems (Computer). Students may work together in study groups but all assignments must be completed individually. Homework will be due in class on the designated date. No late homework will be accepted unless prior notification and arrangements are made.
