Time/Location

Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:40pm-6:00pm

Prerequisites

• ECS 20 (Discrete Mathematics) or equivalent, and
• ECS 60 or ECS 32B or ECS 36C or equivalent (Introduction to programming and basic algorithms and data structures)

As mandated by College of Engineering policy, prerequisites will be checked and enforced at the beginning of the quarter by the undergraduate advisors at the departmental level. The instructor has no control over this process.

Familiarity with basic linear algebra is useful and recommended for understanding some examples/applications in class, but not essential to do well in the course.
