Sydney Uni

Apr 29th, 2009 by Edmund Tse

Just wanted to share some of what I did while studying my Bachelor of Engineering / Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Sydney.

USYD has 2 departments that offer free Microsoft software (Windows, Visual Studio, Office Visio, Office OneNote, and much more) to students. One is electrical engineering MSDNAA and the other is school of IT MSDNAA.

ELEC4505 – Digital Communication Systems

Course notes for Digital Communication Systems in PDF (271KB) with plenty of diagrams.

ELEC3506 – Data Communications and the Internet

Course notes for Data Communications and the Internet in PDF (2.91MB). It’s a general course on the workings of networking, protocols especially TCP/IP, and the internet.

COMP3609 – Algorithms and Complexity (Advanced)

A usual course in algorithms, and hardness. Course notes for Algorithms and Complexity (Advanced) in PDF (3.00MB).

Also the single A4 sheet of Mid-Semester Quiz Notes in PDF (207KB) and Exam Notes in PDF (234KB).

INFO3220 – Object Oriented Design

My C++ course notes for Object Oriented Design in PDF (806KB).

ELEC3505 – Communications

My course notes for Communications in PDF (3.27MB).

The exam was open book, so I decided to make a smaller set of notes containing only the formulae. I’m making available the Formula Sheet in PDF (1.22MB).

ELEC3305 – Digital Signal Processing

My course notes for Digital Signal Processing in PDF (2.97MB).

COMP3608 – Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (Advanced)

My course notes for Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in PDF (1.76MB).

For the exam we were allowed to bring in a double sided A4 sheet of notes. I’m also making available the Exam Notes in PDF (937KB).

COMP3520 – Operating System Internals

My course notes for Operating System Internals in PDF (1.56MB).

PHYS2213 – Physics 2EE (for Electrical Engineers)

Here are some notes that I’ve made over the course of this second year unit of study.

MATH1905 – Statistics (Advanced)

It’s a statistics course.

  • Lectures 3-6 (387K)
  • Lectures 7-8 (261K)
  • Lectures 9-10 (271K)
  • Lectures 11-12 (240K)
    • Page 19: Point (3) the calculations “0.977 – 0.841 = 0.136″ are incorrect; it should be “0.977 – (1 – 0.841) = 0.818″
  • Lectures 13-14 (374K)
    • Page 4: The exponent after “Similarly…” should be “-(1-p)?” instead of “-p?”
  • Lectures 15-16 (204K)
    • Page 18: The 9th sign (the 3rd minus) in the solution should be a plus instead of a minus
  • Lectures 17-18 (998K)
    • Marc doesn’t use the computer anymore, so no more lecture slides. Here are his lesson notes.

SunSPOTs

SunSPOTs are really cool Wireless Sensor Network devices. I was lucky to be involved in a research project (now called Corona) at the end of my first year at uni, to work on a system where you would query an entire network of these nodes in a similar way you would an SQL database!
It’s my first experience at what doing research is like, and it was actually quite fun.
