Important Announcements

Make sure you hit the Refresh or Reload button on your web browser whenever you visit this page to make sure you have the latest version.

·       1/22:  I may occasionally post announcements on moodle. You will need to know your NJIT UCID to access moodle.  If you don’t know your UCID (e.g., if you’re a Rutgers student), then send me an email with your full name, and I will email to you what my class roster states your UCID is.  But you will need to figure everything else about your UCID by yourself.

·       1/22:  HW1 is available from here.  It is due 2/5.

·       1/22:  Do not use course materials from previous semesters.

·       1/22:  I only distributed the first few pages of Lecture Notes 2 in the first class.  Be sure to print out the rest for the next class.

·       1/22:  In this course we will use the Arena simulation package to run some simulation models.  Arena is only available for Windows PCs; there is no version for Macs.  Instructions for obtaining Arena are here. 

Required Background

Students must be comfortable with calculus-based probability. Here is a self-assessment test to see if you have the basic background needed in calculus-based probability. Also, students must have some experience writing programs in a high-level language, e.g., C, Java, Python, or Matlab.

Course Materials

The course materials are available as pdf files.  You need the Adobe Reader to read these files. You can download Adobe Reader for free from here.  Also, some of the files listed below are compressed as zip files. To uncompress them, you can use WinZip or WinRAR.  If you have any problems with these packages, you have to figure them out on your own.
