Video Taped Sessions

• Time and Place:
• Instructors: Yu Hen Hu , 3625 Engr. Hall, Tel.262-6724, E-mail: hu@engr.wisc.edu. Office hours: TBA
• Credits:  3
• Prerequisite: Math 340, or ECE 330, or consent of instructor. CS 302, or CS 310, or knowledge of C programming language. It is advantegeous that a student is familiar with calculus, matrix/vector notations, basic numerical linear algebra operations, knowlege in basic probability theory and statistics.
• Goals: This course presents an overview of the theory and applications of artificial neural network and fuzzy systems to engineering applications with emphasis on signal processing and control. The objective of this course is on the understanding of various neural network and fuzzy systems models and the applications of these models to solve engineering problems.
