AME 3623: Embedded Real-Time Systems: Pencasts

Pencasts consist of synchronized sound and drawing information (the drawing is revealed at the time you hear the corresponding audio). When viewing pencasts:

• You can pause, slow down, speed up the audio.
• You can skip to a particular part of the audio by clicking on the corresponding part of the drawing.

Note that although I will give example problems and solutions in the pencasts, you should try to solve the problems yourself before viewing my solution.

Pencasts should work with modern versions of Safari, Google-Chrome and Internet Explorer. I have not had good luck with Firefox. Please let me know ASAP if you have any trouble viewing these pencasts.
