This course is about signals and their interaction with systems. A signal is a quantity of interest that is usually a function of time. A system takes a signal (input), performs an operation on it, and produces another signal (output). Tools for the analysis of signals and a special class of systems (linear and time-invariant systems) will be introduced in both the time-domain and frequency-domain. The frequency-domain provides an insightful, alternative perspective of signals and systems and greatly simplifies their analysis. These analysis tools will be presented for both continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. In many instances, discrete-time signals and systems arise from the sampling of their continuous-time counterparts so as to facilitate their analysis with digital computers. Signals and systems are omnipresent, and the practical applications of the theory presented in this course are numerous.
