                               Lecture Hours: Tuesday and Thursday  10:30 am - 11:45 am, Location: Knoy Hall of Technology Room B019

                               Office Hours:  Tuesday and Thursday 1:30 am-5:00 pm at BNC 2295 or by appointment. Course Website: http://engineering.purdue.edu/~yep/courses.htm      

TA Information: Mr. Chongke Gu, E-mail: gu379@purdue.edu

Grading: Final Homework 20%, Project 20%, Mid-term Exam 30%, Final Exam 30% Attendance/in class discussions will be considered at marginal cases.

Announcement: HW 1-4 are assigned. Please turn in HW1-4 at Gradescope. They are due on September 15, September 22, September 29 and October 6 Tuesday 11:59pm US EST. Let's try our best to do HW on schedule. In this case, we have enough time to finish the HWs, do a good review session for mid-term exam. After mid-term exam, we can focus on 2-3 HWs left and a project. Syllabus is just a reference. If you insist on the deadline of HWs on syllabus, you just have tight schedule to prepare for the mid-term exam. We still take HW 2 until Septemebr 29. Thanks!
