Est ISYE 6501 Lecture Transcripts
About This Document
This document was originally created in the summer of 2017 and is maintained
collaboratively through the efforts of the students of edX GTx ISYE 6501 using
transcripts and screenshots from the video lectures. You are strongly encouraged to
improve the formatting, layout, add or adjust images, bold key words, and even
condense copy and remove personal asides (sorry, Professor Sokol).
It is expected that sections may be added, removed, or modified -- in which case,
again, you should please take the liberty of adjusting this document to match.
Some tips on formatting: the Weeks (e.g., Week 1), Modules (e.g., 1. Introduction),
and Sub-Modules (e.g., 1.3 (C): What is Modeling?) are formatted respectively as
Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3. These can be adjusted in the format menu, or
by pressing Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2, and Ctrl + 3, respectively, while the cursor is on the
line you wish to change.
Pressing Ctrl + , will toggle subscript text on and off.
For use as study material for GTx 6501x. Text and images copied directly from the course videos, with light
editing for readability. Not intended for broad distribution or general use.
