Introduction
All the Comms IV materials and downloads are on this page. There are no rules. Anyone can edit this page and add questions and discussion. It is self-moderating and you can delete and edit anything you like. To resolve conflicts use the discussion page. I encourage you to you to use this as a forum to ask technical questions and even give answers if you know them. If you come acroos your own hints and tips that you think are useful to others, feel free to add them.
Schedule
For Semester 1, 2008, there will be three lectures per week:
- Monday 1pm, EM212 (Engineering Maths Building) - do not go to E318 or EM205!
- Wednesday 11am, Florey Theatre, 103, (Medical School North)
- Friday 2pm, Chapman Theatre, N158, (Engineering North)
We will meet during all three lecture slots and will have three lectures per week. The Monday slot will sometimes be a tutorial. This will be announced the week before. On total there will be 4 tutorials and 18 set lectures. We will probably go over the 18 lectures for revision and worked examples, if needed.
Course Notes
You must bring hard copies of the notes to every lecture and annotate the notes, based on my lecture in order to make the most of attendance. It is cheaper to buy the notes from EESAU, however if you miss out you can download them from here:
Tutorials
You must download these tutorials and attempt them 1-week before the tutorial to get the most out of it. A tutorial date will be announced a week in advance.
Formula Sheets
Familariarise yourselves with these as you get them in the exams:
The following formula sheet is designed for the whole BEng degree and is NOT given at exams. However it is very useful for solving problems for all courses in the degree for all 4 years. It is also useful if you carry on with a PhD.
Questions
If you found something confusing in a Comms IV and though it was a rather "muddy point" then on the page below and ask a question. Anyone can answer: either myself or any other student can answer. I will of course tweek everyone's answers to make them clear and check thy are correct.
