EE235 Course Information

## EE235: Continuous Time Linear Systems

### Course Information, Fall 2006

Course Information/Syllabus: PS version; PDF version. This is electronic version of the form that was passed out the first day of class. Most course information is on the syllabus, including the problem set assignments, due dates, and class schedule.

ANNOUNCEMENTS-CLASS BLOG:

• 12/6/2006: Solutions to our midterm are located here along with the other exams.
• 12/6/2006: All homework solutions are now posted in the solutions page.
• 11/28/2006: For the laplace transform, you will need to look at the following handout.
• 11/27/2006: Several people asked me for the code and scripts of today's matlab demo. I've placed them all in the directory here which includes a documented list of commands and the other scripts that I called.
• 11/27/2006: HW5 and HW6 solutions are now posted in the solutions area. HW7 will be posted later this week. Also, a remimnder to everyone that there are no lates accepted for homework 9 (see our syllabus for details).
• 11/5/2006: midterm histogram is now availalbe. Class mean (median) is 26.4 (28) which corresponds to a final grade of roughly a 3.2.
• 10/31/2006: A student asked for the worked solutions to the problems on your notes (pages 55, 56, and 89), and they are now here
• 10/27/2006: Solutions for the latest hws 3-4 are now posted in the solutions area.
• 10/26/2006: Sample midtern exams are here. Note, some of them have the solutions written right with the exam, so if you don't want to see the solutions, you might want to look at them incrementally. These are exams that I gave myself (the ones whose name start with 'ee235...') and also other example exams. There are also a few finals there as well, but you don't need to worry about them until your final :-)
• 10/23/2006: Question on problem 3.31: The time constant is defined on page 42 of the text. If we have a complex exponential $Ce^\left\{at\right\}$ where $a$ is the variable, then we set the following $Ce^\left\{at\right\} = Ce^\left\{-t/\tau\right\}$, where $\tau$ is known as the time constant in this case we have $\tau = -1/a$. Also, you'll need to turn in short printouts of matlab code for this problem.
• 10/19/2006: HW1 and HW2 solutions are now posted in the solutions area.
• 10/18/2006: Homework solutions and many examples of previous midterms (all with solutions) will be posted here in pdf form very soon!!
• 10/13/2006: As you probably noticed, we have a grader. His name is Dan Luong and his email is dluong@ee.washington.edu. If you have questions about grading on your homework, the first person to ask is Dan. If you still have questions, next ask our TAs ( Evan and/or Eric). And if you then still have questions, please ask me.
• 10/11/2006: Eta Kappa Nu Study Center opens Monday, October 16. Hours: Monday-Friday 11:00am - 1:00 pm, Location: EE Building Upper Basement. Offering high-quality tutoring in a low-pressure environment, focusing on EE215, 233, and 235.
• 10/10/2006: Matlab tutorial Friday the 13th, look here
• 10/2/2006: TA office hours will be in the SIEG tutorial rooms, which are Sieg 126/128.
• 9/28/06: It turns out that the course notes will be at the bookstore after all (this is a new thing they're starting this quarter). I'm told that you can get your course notes starting tomorrow morning at the bookstore located here. I don't know the price (but if you find out, let me know and I'll post it here).
• 9/27/06: A new matlab primer for EE students is now online (other matlab links are below)
• 9/27/06: The class course notes have been now sent to the communications (CMU) copy center, and should be available to pick up starting later tomorrow afternoon. These notes will not be made available electronically unfortunately.
• 9/27/06: No discussion sections this week (first section will be Monday, Oct 2nd).
• 9/27/06: HW0 is now ready in PS and PDF formats.
• 9/27/06: Everyone enrolled in the class must provide a photograph/picture of yourself so we can get to know you. The photo must be recent, and must look like the way you'll typically look in class. You have two options to get us this photo:
1. Email your full name, your SID, and a digital photo of yourself to ee235picture@ssli.ee.washington.edu (please remember to include your SID, student ID as some people have the same name).
2. We will be bringing cameras to class and can take your picture after lecture.
Photos are an assignment, for which you will receive credit, and are due no later than Wednesday, October 4th, 2005.
• 9/27/06: web page up and running

Homework assignments:
All homework assignments are listed in the course information/syllabus above.
Homework FAQ page (general questions about homework that are not in the syllabus).

Laboratory assignments:
All of the five laboratory assignments are avaialble on the connections web site. They are to be finished during discussion in the week as indicated in the syllabus.

You are strongly encouraged to fully read and understand the laboratories before the discussion section in which you are to do them. Failure to read beforehand might mean that you can't complete the lab in discussion. Labs will be graded on a pass/no-pass basis, so again you must prepare before your discussion.
