Both papers are uploaded in the Files section.

Describe either one of the two methods above, intuitively, mathematically, and schematically. You may use figures, diagrams, and examples, along with your text. Use formal, technical language and not informal one.

– The text should be 1000 words or more (excluding title, your name, etc.) (-30% if otherwise)

– Do not copy-paste parts of the papers (-20% if otherwise)

– Do not use the illustrations in the papers (-10% if otherwise)

– Improper language (-10%)

– Your submission should be in pdf format (-10% if otherwise)

– Late submissions: see Syllabus.

– You can collaborate but cannot copy each other. (There will be plagiarism detection)

This assignment has three scopes: (i) learn some details about a method that we will see and use later in the semester; (ii) reading and understanding a technical paper: the intuition, the math, and details beyond the paper itself, that is, the most important references etc.; (iii) writing in formal, technical language.
