DESCRIPTION
LECTURES / READING HOMEWORK
LATEST UPLOADS : FINAL PROJECTS

Thanks to all of you who filled out a course evaluation (CAPE) for this class. To see what you and your classmates had to say, click here. I am grateful for all the comments - especially the critical ones, which will help me improve the class for next year. I also plan on drawing upon your excellent final projects to add new material to chapter six. Overall students appreciated the depth of the lecture notes, but would have preferred more applications and less formalism in the lectures themselves. I think this is an excellent idea and will try to make it so.


HAVE A NICE BREAK!
