The Course Goal
To introduce the mathematical tools for
analysing signals and systems in the
time and frequency domain and to
provide a basis for applying these
techniques in Electrical Engineering.

Course Project
Students are required to work in groups and
are encouraged to submit a proposal for their
own project which must be related to the
course matter and which involves some
practical application. Students may always
discuss their proposals with the instructor and
seek his approval before starting work on
their project. Students may use either Matlab
or LabView to carry out their projects.
