ELEC / COMP 602
Fall 2004

Schedule

Class topics and titles of handouts will come on-line in a timely manner. Handouts will typically be provided in hardcopy format in class but some may be posted here. Should you have trouble getting a printout please get help from Mrs. Betrose (Bea) Sparks (or call 713.348.4025) and also notify me.

Additional, optional reading is also listed below. The references are resolved in the Course materials.

Key to notation:
EMvis-x = set #x of my visuals. EM-"other" = "other" electronic material that I may post.
SPvis-y = set #y of Student Presenter's visuals.

If a .ps or .pdf file comes up with poor resolutin on your screen, the printed version should still be perfectly fine. If that is not the case alert me.
