1. 課程說明(course description)：
<br>介紹信號處理在音樂、語音、或其他日常生活中聽得到的聲訊中的應用：包含分析與合成兩大部分。學生修
<br>完本課程,應能對這個領域的核心技術、背景觀念有充分理解，並對本領域新研究課題有所接觸，以期激發創造
<br>力，針對有興趣的課題作更深入的實作研究。建議學生須具備撰寫MATLAB或其他程式語言的能力。 (預修課程: 
<br>信號與系統,線性代數, 或由授課老師許可. 亦歡迎有興趣之大學部高年級同學選修)
<br>
<br>To introduce application of signal processing methods in music, language, and 
<br>other sounds in daily life, including two major parts: sound analysis and sound 
<br>synthesis. After taking this course, students should be familiar with the core 
<br>techniques and background knowledge in this field. Also, current research topics 
<br>will be selectively covered. Final projects are required and students are 
<br>encouraged to be creative. Prerequisite: Signals and Systems, Linear Algebra, or 
<br>consent by the instructor. Undergraduates in junior or senior years are also 
<br>welcome to take this course.
