Announcements

DateNote
09/22/20 HW03 and HW04 have been delayed by one class.
08/27/20 Please join the class Discord to facilitate questions and discussion. Thank you Sean for setting it up.
08/20/20 Welcome to Fall 2020. EE361 will be a fully virtual course. We will try our best to be flexible and understanding as things will certainly evolve over the semester.

Please try to block off the "lecture" time on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30-3:45 for interactive discussion/office hours.

Note on book abbreviations: OW = Oppenheim and Wilsky; SSS = Schaum's Signals and Systems; SPR = Schaum's Probability, Random Variables, and Random Processes.

Be sure to brush up on your Laplace Transform (OW Ch 9) and Z-Transform (OW Ch 10).
