We will use several different texts in this course. All will be available online for free download EXCEPT for Robot Modeling and Control, by Mark W. Spong, Seth Hutchinson, M. Vidyasagar. You should buy this book.
There are no formal pre-requisites, but it will be very important for you to have a working knowledge of discrete math and probability.
Cheating and other acts of academic dishonesty will be referred to OSCCR (office of student conduct and conflict resolution). See this link.
Late assignments will be penalized by 10% for each day late. For example, if you turned in a perfect homework assignment two days late, you would receive an 80% instead of 100%.
