Common mistakes on Homework 1:
1. When determining causality of in Q3b, take into account that "n" can be negative.
2. When drawing magnitude and phase, draw for $ \omega \in [-\pi,\pi] $. Remember DTFT is repetitive with period $ 2\pi $. So drawing phase and magnitude for one period is sufficient.
3. Most common mistake was deriving phase. For example, let $ H(\omega)=e^{j\omega}sin(\omega) $, $ \angle H(\omega)=\angle e^{j\omega}+\angle sin(\omega) $. The key thing is to note is that $ \angle sin(\omega) = 0 $ when $ sin(\omega)\geq 0 $ and $ \angle sin(\omega) = \pm \pi $ when $ sin(\omega)< 0 $. Remember, $ -1=e^{\pm j \pi} $.

Abstract algebra continues the conceptual developments of linear algebra, on an even grander scale.
