Schedule below is subject to change.

Tentative lecture schedule can also be found in the Syllabus.

Videos of lectures from last year (Winter 2012) can be found here: ECE 147b Winter 2012 Lectures

Either FPW or FV is sufficient for this class; you do NOT need both!
"FPW" stands for [Franklin, Powell, and Workman].
"FV" stands for [Fadali and Visioli].
"RS" means Roy Smith's ECE 147b lecture notes, which are all worth reviewing. Links for those lectures are given below:
RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7, RS8, RS9, RS10, RS11, RS12, RS13, RS14, RS15, RS16, RS17,
