Class scribbles (click to view)

**CAUTION!** These scribbled PDFs are an *unedited* reflection of what I wrote during class. They need to be viewed in the context of the class discussion that led to them. See the lecture videos for that. If you would like actual, self-contained class notes, look in the outline above. These scribbles are provided here to provide a record of our class discussion, to be used in perhaps the following ways: * as a way to cross-check your own notes * to look up a formula that you know was shown in a certain class * to remind yourself of what exactly was covered on a given day By continuing to read them, you acknowledge that these files are provided as supplementary material on an as-is basis.

Computing

We will be using Python with the libraries numpy, scipy and matplotlib for in-class work and assignments. No other languages are permitted. Python has a very gentle learning curve, so you should feel at home even if you've never done any work in Python.

Virtual Machine Image

While you are free to install Python and Numpy on your own computer to do homework, the only supported way to do so is using the supplied virtual machine image.
