The Discussion section will be used to present computational tools to describe and analyze signals and systems. The course will be taught using Matlab which is available in the Engineering Labs. A student copy of Matlab is available for $99 and can be a very helpful tool in many of your engineering courses. There are other free tools that are similar to Matlab including Octave, Scilab or SciPy.

Grading

ComponentPercentageDate
Midterms: 40% 3/11, 4/22
Final: 30% 5/13 10:10
Homework: 20% Weekly
Computer: 10% Weekly

Homework will include Matlab programming problems (Computer). Students may work together in study groups but all assignments must be completed individually. Homework will be due in class on the designated date. No late homework will be accepted unless prior notification and arrangements are made. Instruction of computational programming language (Matlab) and its application to signals and systems takes place in EE360D.

Announcements

DateNote
05/01/19 Homework 8 has been delayed. You may turn it in during discussion section on Friday 5/3.
03/30/19 Lecture notes on Laplace Transform and Partial Fraction Expansion for 3/27 are posted. Note, the pptx file is larger because it has my commentary for you to listen during playback of the slideshow.
03/25/19 Homework correction for Laplace and Z-transform that affects Homework 5-7. Each assignment has been delayed until the following class. Note the midterm has been moved from 4/15 to 4/22 to accommodate the slower pace.
03/14/19 Discussion section on 3/15 will be held in TBE B-172 @ 5p for make up Midterm
03/05/19 Homework04 correction again to Wednesday 3/13 since 3/18 is during Spring Break.
03/05/19 Homework04 has been moved to Monday 3/18 to give us time to cover Fourier Series material.
01/30/19 Office hours are officially changed to MW 9-10.
Midterm01 is moved from M 3/11 to M 3/4 and will cover OW Ch 1-2. Midterm02 will cover Ch 3, 9, 10. Please note the dates for HW04 and Comp03 have been adjusted accordingly.
