June 23rd Not off a Good Start...

My day started with playing with MATLAB in hope of finishing up Experimenting with Quantization Error in MATLAB. I feel the language used in those programming exercises instructions is very different from other parts of the text. I've been having a hard time understanding what exactly the exercise is asking me to do. For example, I don't really understand what the average magnitude error is and the process of normalization. Even when I was checking the solution, I still don't quite understand what is going on. The information given in 5.3.2 is very limited for an exercise like this.

To make sure I can finish my work at least before the end of today and leave tomorrow more flexible, I'll first read 5.3.4 the Mathematics of Dithering and Noise Shaping, and then pick up from where I stopped on Tuesday, beginning of section 2. Hopefully by the end of the day I'll finish all the assessments for Learning Supplements on Sakai.
