Lecture 1 Blog, ECE438 Fall 2011, Prof. Boutin
Monday August 22, 2011 (Week 1) - See Course Outline.
In the first lecture, we covered the syllabus. We then talked about the reason why we need "Digital Signal Processing". In particular, we discussed the two following applications:
- Historical Preservation: Original Caruso (1904) versus Caruso digitally processed
- A software to remove the sound of vuvuzelas at World Cup of Soccer, 2010.
We finished the lecture with a discussion about the meaning of the Fourier transform and a video where Prof. Joe Havlicek illustrates this meaning using music.
Action items for students include
- Read Rhea's disclaimer.
- Read the ECE438 Peer legacy page and consider contributing to other peer legacy pages, such as ECE201, ECE202, ECE301, and EPICS.
- Solve the following two practice problems and share your solution for feedback
Next: Lecture 2
