Aim:  This web page provides resources to better understand CE anlayis course material.  Our goal is to teach the basics of computer programming and applied mathematics to model and solve practical engineering problems.  Learning applied mathematics and progamming is good for you.  If, for some reason, you are still wondering why should I learn all these mundane math and computer programming ideas--Please Don't Ask, Just Do It!

How to play the video files?  You can click on the link and if your windows media player is properly installed it should automatically download and play the video.  If it does not play then right click on the link and choose save link as option to save the windows media file (wmv file) in your hard disk and then open it in a video player that can play wmv files.  MAC users should install Flip4MAC to play wmv files.  You can also use Quicktime if you have installed WMV player option in it.  In summary, you can play the video in windows media player, FlipMAC or Quicktime, and they are all free video players. You can Google and find one of these free players on the web.  In rare cases, I have noticed that your player may not buffer properly and you will not be able to fast forward or rewind.  If that happens, right click on the windows media player (some cases need to select tools after the right clicking on top) and go to "more options" and under "Performance" tab you select network buffering buttom and set 5 to 20 seconds or more for buffering.
