5.4, due Fri Oct 27

Difficult:

There was a lot of information in this section, and trying to keep it all straight is going to be a bit of a challenge. I don't really get all of the new notation yet.

Application:

I feel like this section started to move a little bit from probability into statistics. I guess the difference shouldn't be very big, but at the same time it might, I feel, be more intuitive to me. We'll see.

8.6, due Friday 12/8

Difficult: Honestly, this whole thing is a bit fuzzy to me. I'm not quite sure how it works. I feel like I won't fully understand until I do a lab on it. Application: well, the picture of the mandrill was interesting. How sure are we, though, that this is how the FBI does fingerprints?

8.7, due Monday dec 11

Difficult: I think I need to go back and review compact support. Also, much like the last section, I don't think I'll fully understand this one until I do the HW and/or code it up. Application: I feel like every section says, 'the last approximation is good for some things, but not for this new thing'. It's just interesting.

Difficult: The hardest part was following all of the integrals going on. The idea of fourier transforms is interesting, but I don't know how well I'll actually be able to follow it. Also, how is having a basis for only a subset of F make a suitable basis for all of the functions/signals we care about? Application: I've seen some of what DFT/FFTs can do, and it's super cool. I'm excited to see how we can apply this to audio and visual conversions!
