Assignments and Labs

Assignments will be handed out on Fridays, and due a week later. The assignments include both problem sets and labs. You are welcome to work in groups, but we ask you to write up your own solutions.

The labs will use matlab. You are also welcome to use Octave (open source matlab clone) or python with numpy/scipy. These are all very closely related, but have subtle differences. We will only actively support matlab, though.

Textbook

There is no required textbook, other than the course notes posted on the web site. The Oppenheim and Willsky book may be helpful if you'd like another perspective to read.

All of the assignments will include matlab. You can get a student version, or use one of the Stanford computers that has matlab.
