Presentations of Projects, Technical Writing, and project presentations

Notice the room changes for this course.

In the first ten minutes of this lecture, there was a slide presentation on the project presentations, adapted from the materials in Chapter 15.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

We first went over pseudo code to compute the mean time between failures of a composite project. If you follow the links below you will see the Maple solution:

Servicing Requests

In the lecture of today we stated the problem and briefly sketched the outline of one experiment. If you follow the links below you will see the full Maple solution:
