[CSC 335] Project 1 Posted - and Revised Due Date

[Andrew J. Pounds]

I now have the project 1 description loaded on the class website in the 
HOMEWORK section.  The only substantive change is that I have moved the 
due date to November 10th.

I also placed a copy of the 1967 paper on Savitzky-Golay filtering on 
the class website.

One other thing is worth mentioning here.  Last week in class there was 
some question as to how the TMS "zero-point" should be located.   As 
stated in the description, this zero will be designated as the most 
negative peak that is above the baseline. All of you points should be 
shifted relative to this peak.

Interestingly enough, most NMR spectra are plotted on a "parts per 
million, or PPM" scale in which the negative axis increases to the right 
and the positive axis increases to the left -- just the opposite of our 
normal plotting conventions.   This should in no way affect your coding 
unless you want to compare your results with spectra found in the 
literature -- which will be plotted according to this seemingly backward 
convention.
