Class Notes

 

The links below are for the PDF versions. If you want powerpoint versions of the slides, please go to http://courses.ncsu.edu/ece733/lec/001/wrap/. This directory also contains some background papers. Note these powerpoint slides do NOT include in-class notes. To get those you have to attend class or watch the videos.

If you want a two-up or four-up format (to save paper), you can do this yourself in Adobe Acrobat PDF reader. (From the file menu, select "Print Setup" and click on "properties". The details from that point depend on the version you are running.)
