The days section is a table of class meetings. Assigned readings and lecture notes are also included in this table. The topics section is a list of topics. As the semester progresses, topics will be assigned to specific dates.
This page also contains links for on-campus review of the lectures in RealMedia format. Due to the low data transfer rates of the UNCA network, you should only access the UNCA copy while on the UNCA campus. When off campus, please access the lectures through the NCSU ECE 212 video archive.
