Evaluation is by: Homeworks, Midterm, take home final.

I will shortly post a policy on collaboration and plagiarism

 

 

Advice:

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.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT: There will NOT be a midterm - too much distraction already. Focus on homeworks.

 

Required Text:

Probability and Statistics for Computer Scientists, D.A. Forsyth, (approximate 11'th draft)

 

Syllabus:

(or at least, a record of what I have lectured and prospective information about what I shall lecture)
