TELCOM 2936 Special Topics in Wireless Communications: Mobile Applications


Spring 2005 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.
