TELCOM 2130 Queueing Systems
Fall 2011 Course Schedule
Please, note that the following schedule contains dates of classes and
reading assignments for these dates. While I will try to follow this schedule,
we may turn out to go faster or slower depending on the difficulty that the
class experiences with the material, in which case I will have to adjust the
schedule. I will tell you about any possible schedule changes as we go. In case
of larger changes, I will make an updated schedule available. The readings are
from the main course textbooks, books on reserve, typed class notes and
handouts. Assignments are due one week after they are posted.
