Meeting times
The class meets Tuesday and Thursday 3:30pm to 4:50pm in ECEB2013.
The TA will hold office hours on Monday from 5-6pm.
In class exam on Tuesday Apr 18.
Homeworks
There will be roughly 6 homeworks assigned. Unless otherwise specified, the homeworks are due a week from the date they are assigned.
Exams
- There will either be a final exam or a final project depending on class enrolment (larger enrolment means more likely to have a final exam).
- There will be two in-class quizzes, both of which counting towards the final grade.
Project (if applicable)
The final projects will be discussed in more detail in the class. The final product will be a paper (about 5-10 pages) on an application that requires you to use some of the methods presented in the class, or possibly related methods. The use of real data (by opposition to simulated data) if applicable is always a plus.
Matlab
We will use Matlab at various points in this class, but the use will never be too involved. It is assumed that you are at least mildly proficient with the program.
Textbook
There are no mandatory textbooks. I will distribute notes as we go along.
Prerequisites
The official prerequisites for this course are ECE 515 (Control system theory and design) and ECE 534 (Random Processes). In practice, a good understanding of linear algebra, probability and the willingness to do additional work on the way to cover possible gaps in your background should be enough. If you fall in this latter category, please discuss first with me.
