HOMEWORK
There will be no mandatory homework. However, there are homeworks available
online.
You are encouraged to look at
them since exam questions may be similar to them.

This course requires a fairly good amount of Math and DSP background.
If you are not competent in these fields, you will have a difficult time
following the course. It is a fairly challenging, but equally valuable
course.
OFFICE HOURS
Both the TA and I will hold office hours. You are strongly encouraged
to make use of office hours.
