Texts

Required Text:
Signals and Systems, second edition
Oppenheim and Willsky
Prentice Hall
ISBN: 013814757
Strongly Recommended: Matlab Student Edition, Mathworks

We will have weekly lab assignments that will all require the use of matlab. Matlab is available on most Stanford computers for free. However, you will find it very much more convenient if you have matlab on your own personal computer.

Grading Guidelines

20%	Weekly homework assignments, each of which has two components:
	10% Problem Sets
	10% Matlab Labs
30%	Midterm examination
50%	Final examination

Any appeals of homework scores and of the midterm score must be resolved within one week of the return of the graded homework or exam.

You are expected to know what transpires in class, whether or not you attend. In particular, you are responsible for knowing any announced changes in exam schedules, homework problems, or other class activities. If you are not able to attend a class, check with a student who did.

Homework:

Homework will be handed out on Wednesday and due the following Wednesday. Electronic (pdf) versions will be posted on the class web site. The matlab laboratory component of the homework will be discussed during the Friday class. Homework will be due by 5 PM in the "inbox" in the 102a class drawer, located in the course file cabinets on the 2nd floor Packard, adjacent to the cafe area. Unless arranged in advance with a TA, late homework will lose points for each day it is late. No points will be given after the solutions become available.

Problem Sessions

Weekly sessions to discuss homework and projects. Monday 6:30-8:00pm, Location: Wallenberg Hall (Bldg 160), Room 330

Exams

Midterm: Friday 9 May, in class
Final: Tuesday 10 June 2008 12:15-3:13

Prerequisites

Basic calculus and elementary linear differential equations
