This working calendar is on the web: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~ese532/spring2017.html.
Please, recheck the page on the web as details may be adjusted as the
term progresses. Except for weather and other unexpected events, schedule of assignments and exams should not change. The
topics in the first half (up to Spring Break) is more certain than
the second half (post Spring Break); we may want to refine where we spend
time in the second half based on our experience in the first half and the
particulars of the project.
Lectures notes, reading, and handouts will be added as we reach them.
