Rhea Section for ECE438, Professor Boutin, Fall 2010
Welcome!
There is a rumor circulating around that there will be two ECE438 sections this coming Fall. The rumor is untrue: as usual, there will be only one section of ECE438.

Your turn! A bonus point opportunity
Students in ECE438 Fall 2010 have the opportunity to earn up to a 3% bonus by contributing a Rhea page on a subject related to digital signal processing. To pick a subject, simply write your name next to it. Please no more than one student per subject. Your page will be graded based on content as well as interactions with other people (page views, comments/questions on the page, etc.). The number of links to other courses and subjects will also be taken into account: the more the merrier! Please do not simply copy the lecture notes and do not plagiarize.
