CSCI 5330: Introduction to Data Compression
This page contains material specific to the Spring 1997 CSCI 5330
(section 2) Introduction to Data Compression class taught by
Steve Tate in the Department of Computer Sciences at
the University of North Texas.
On-Line Information
Some documents are available in both HTML (looks good in a Web
browser) and PostScript (looks good on paper). HTML offers very poor
facilities for including mathematical expressions, so any handouts
that rely heavily on mathematical formulas are available only in
PostScript. You will need a PostScript viewer or a PostScript printer
in order to use these files (hopefully your Web browser is correctly
tied to a PostScript viewer, but if not, then you might have a hard
time with these files).
The first thing available is a list of
topics covered on each class day. If you miss class, first check
here to see what was covered, and what handouts were given.
