MATH 213 - Signals, Systems, and Differential Equations

Laplace transform methods for: solving linear ordinary differential equations, classical signals, and systems. Transfer functions, poles, and zeros; system stability. Frequency response of linear systems and its log-scale representation (Bode plot). Fourier series. Applications in areas of interest for software engineers and computer scientists. Brief introduction to Fourier transforms in the context of signals and systems.
