EE364a: Reading Assignments

Professor Stephen Boyd, Stanford University, Winter Quarter 2011–12

Unless otherwise noted, all reading assignments are from the textbook.

  1. By end of 1st week (1/13/12): Chapter 1.

  2. By end of 2nd week (1/20/12): Chapter 2.

  3. By end of 3rd week (1/27/12): Chapter 3 and a start on the CVX Users’ Guide. You can skim the Users’ Guide, ignoring the material on duality.

  4. By end of 4th week (2/3/12): Chapter 4.

  5. By end of 5th week (2/10/12): Chapter 5 and CVX Users’ Guide.

  6. By end of 6th week (2/17/12): Chapters 7 and 8.

  7. By end of 7th week (2/24/12): Appendix C, Chapters 9 and 10.

  8. By end of 8th week (3/2/12): Appendix A, Chapter 11.

That finishes up the formal reading assignments. We recommend that you read (or re-read) sections of the book that you may have missed, or still confuse you. We also recommend that you re-read the CVX Users’ Guide, skipping only the very driest sections.
