==== Instructions for Graded Homeworks ====
\\
Homeworks  will be announced on Fridays almost each week and are collected exactly one week after they are posted. It is OK to discuss problems with your friends. But once you write down a problem, you have to write it down in your own words. If we find similarities of solutions beyond random, all involved
homeworks will receive 0 points. We will not investigate who copied from whom.
































































==== Textbook ====
\\
Upamanyu Madhow's **Fundamentals of Digital Communication**, (Cambridge Univeristy Press, 2008) has a large overlap with the material covered in the course.
