Topics and Projects

There are 7 topics, each being covered in 2 weeks, and with a project for each.

Project Reports

You are required to hand in 2 reports from projects 1-4, and 2 reports from projects 5-7. In addition you should hand in mini-reports for 2 other projects. (A mini-report consists of figures from each question on the project.) In general, reports are due before the start of the Monday lab following the two-week period for the topic.
