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.

Probability and Statistics for Computer Scientists, D.A. Forsyth, (approximate 9'th draft)
