can be reached at crose@winlab.rutgers.edu.
Office hours Tuesdays 1 hour before and after class in EE 122 (or EE
104 across the way) in the EE building. Email questions are
useful to get things started and will
get fast response (sometimes even if posted in the middle of the night).
TA: Canute (Ken) Vaz can be reached at
kenvaz@eden.rutgers.edu.
Office hours TBA (in EE104)
MISCELLANEOUS:
Here's an info
sheet in pdf. Here's a Laplace
Transform Table. There's a nice Fourier Transform table in
appendix A6.2 of your text. Here's a table of math
facts you might find useful. Here's an example
of FM. Here is a FANTASTIC page on linear systems stuff!
There is also a moderated mailing list pcs_08@rams.rutgers.edu
to which you can post questions/comments. The archive of emails is here.
You can also contact
me directly at crose@winlab.rutgers.edu
and I'll repost your question to the class
(by default with your name removed).
