The final exams and Exam 2 regrades are available to pick up
in MSEE 330.
In addition to having been graded and verified by two separate people
as usual, the final exams for 56 out of 145 students have been carefully
re-checked by Prof. Pollak, to prevent the possibility of an
erroneous final grade. The 56 people are those near the
letter grade cut-offs and most of those in the "F" range.
The "discretionary" 3% have not been used in the computation of the
final grade, i.e., everyone received the full 3%.
The final grades will not be given out by e-mail or phone.
The course is very closely following the organization of the following
textbook:
Introduction to Probability, by Dimitri P. Bertsekas and
John N. Tsitsiklis. Athena Scientific,
Belmont, Massachusetts, 2002. ISBN 1-886529-40-X.
This text has many examples and practice problems. The solutions
to all the problems are available
here.
The text is not
available at the bookstore but can be ordered online from the publisher.
The material taught in the course can also be found in many other
textbooks, including:
Probability and Random Processes for Electrical Engineering, 2nd edition,
by Alberto Leon-Garcia, Addison Wesley, 1994. ISBN 0-201-50037-X.
