11/23/09: Prof. Rodoplu’s office hour for tomorrow
only (Tuesday, 11/24/09) 3:00-4:00 PM, has been shifted to 3:45 PM – 4:30 PM. 11/18/09: Prof
Rodoplu's Office hour will start at 1:30 pm today 11/10/09: HW# 3, Problem 22 of the Course Reader: We will give full credit to the state table. (That is, there is no need to write down the state diagram, but you are welcome to. The state diagram may become too complex, at which point, it ceases to be useful. Hence, writing down the state table is more informative in this case. In particular, if "input don't cares" can be used to make the state table more compact, this is a better representation.)" 11/06/09: Fall
2009 Midterm Solutions posted in Homework Solutions link 11/04/09: Prof.
Rodoplu's office hour on Thursday 4-5 PM has been permanently re-scheduled to

the counter holds the current count. (2) The input [L_A, L_B] are the
external values that are written into the counter during parallel load, which
occurs when CLR == 0, and LOAD == 1 11/04/09: Please contact the TA in your lab section

lecture notes that I made while preparing for the lectures. These are very
rough compared to the exposition in class, and were mostly notes to myself.
However, I am providing them here in case you find them useful.)
