Data Approximation
To learn how to use a symbolic algebra program (in this case, Mathematica).

Tentative List of Topics:

Approximation theory
Fourier transforms
Signal processing
Compression algorithms
Computer graphics
Computer vision
Image processing

Homework and Exams:

Expect weekly homework assignments, which will be a mix of math problems and programming assignments. There will be two midterms and one final. Exams will probably be take home, but I reserve the right to do an in-class portion also. Exam dates are TBA, but they will be announced well in advance.

Grading:

Exams: 25% each
