Evaluation is by: Homeworks, Midterm, Final exam
I will shortly post a policy on collaboration and plagiarism
Read the textbook. I wrote it specifically for this course, AND it's free. I will split time in lecture between sketching important points described in the text, and solving problems. If you haven't read the text, this might be quite puzzling.
The midterm will cover up to the end of Ch 8. I expect to set questions that are quick and straightforward tests of memory and concepts, rather than require complex manipulations. You should look at Homework 5, which consists entirely of example questions from past midterms. Although it is due after the midterm date, I'd start early if I were you.
Probability and Statistics for Computer Scientists, D.A. Forsyth, (approximate 6'th draft)
