Goal and Overview:
This course introduces basic mathematical tools to analyze continuous/discrete-time
signals and linear time-invariant systems that may be encountered in many
disciplines of electrical engineering, such as signal processing, communications,
circuit design, and control. In this course, we will cover topics such as
convolution, filtering, sampling, Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace
transform, and the z-transform. In essence, students will learn how to view and
process signals in both time and frequency domains.

Related Topics: Calculus, Linear Algebra.
