An introductory class: simple and heuristic, with as little mathematics as seems possible. Simple computer exercises to demonstrate the basic ideas. Included are static and time-dependent methodologies including the singular value decomposition, Gauss-Markov estimators, Kalman filters, RTS smoothers, generalized versions of least-squares, adjoints, distinctions between data assimilation and state estimimation, etc. The primary emphasis is on linear problems---which are essential to understanding non-linear ones.
