Course Description:
This is a mandatory course intended to consolidate the mathematical foundations
to various fields of electrical engineering, such as signal processing,
communications, optics, and control. In this course, we will introduce various
analysis methods along with some practical examples. We will focus on continuous-
time/discrete-time deterministic signals and linear time-invariant systems. We
will cover the convolution, Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace transform,
and z-transform operations. The length of this course is 16 weeks.
