The best way to contact me is to use email:
cga@cc.gatech.edu

I am interested in numerical machine learning for
future computing environments
and
intelligent systems and robotics.

I communicate with you (and you all with each other) using:

• lectures
• newsgroup: git.cc.class.4324
• email

Language policy: use any computer language you want. I provide sample code in C, C++, and Java (one of these at a time, not all three).

Course components (estimated grading weight):

• lectures (syllabus)
• readings: Introduction to Robotics, P. J. McKerrow, Addison-Wesley, 1991.
• 3-5 assignments (45%)
• some additional "minor" assignments (10%)
• project (45%)

Late Assignments: Assignments are due by the day and time specified in the assignment description. Late assignments will only be accepted with prior permission of the instructor or the TA.
