Lecture Notes

Computational Assignments
You are strongly encouraged to work in groups on computational assignments and on the course project. A good group size is 3-5 persons. You are also encouraged to check results with other groups and work together to resolve any differences. The best way of learning in programming is to help each other and to learn from each other.

Course project, due by the end of Wednesday 03/16/2016, submit one PDF file by email to hongwang@soe.ucsc.edu
