Laboratories 

Five laboratory sessions are offered for this course. You have to be enrolled in one of the sessions. If you cannot attend the session you are enrolled in you need to inform your TA and attend another lab session that same week. Attending all lab sessions and submitting a satisfactory report for each lab are required to pass the course. Below is the list of experiments for Spring 2001 semester. The lab manual is posted in PDF format. The PDF format removes the printing problem with Greek symbols and other mathematical symbols on some computers. In order to read PDF files you need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. If you do not have a copy of the Acrobat Reader, you can download a copy free of charge from the Adobe web site.
