Course Description:

Fundamentals of signal and system analysis, with applications drawn from filtering, audio, image processing, geometric modeling, automatic control, and the stock market. Topics include classification of discrete and continuous time signals and systems, linear time invariant (LTI) systems, convolution, solutions of linear time-invariant differential equations and difference equations, discrete-time and continuous-time Fourier Series and Fourier Transforms, sampling and discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals, modulation, Laplace and Z-transforms, frequency-domain approach to analog and digital filtering, and feedback systems
