Solutions for Sets 4, 5, 6, and 7 posted.

As the semester passes by continue to think about data science and machine learning, as these are very contemporary topics across many disciplines.

Fall 2019

A request has been made to offer the phase-locked loops course, ECE 5675 or perhaps wireless networking. This course, like 5615, can be a self-study course/independent study type course using the available lecture videos and course notes. Ask me for info. Other such courses are under consideration as well.

Learning Python

Python Basics a tutorial written in Jupyter Notebook. ZIP.

Link to Anaconda. This is the scientific Python I recommend.

Two IDE's I recommend are (1) VS Code with the Python extension and (2) Pycharm Community Edition.

Obtaining Mathematica

EAS RATS and LATS Servers

Mathematica is available across the campus due to the CU system wide site license. This system-site license also means that students may install their own copy on home computers as well. Some links of interest regarding the CU site license for Mathematica are: download and installation and support information.
