    Final Exam info

    Note: In order to cover all the material needed for your engineering course, we have a very tight schedule. The schedule actually only allows for 2 review days and 2 exams. In order to squeeze time for an extra exam, I have created some youtube lectures. We will also have a series of youtube lectures during the 11th week of class when I will be in Mexico giving lectures on applications of topological data analysis. I will be available online to answer any questions, and a sub will be available during class times to provide additional help.
