Lecture 1 Blog, ECE302 Spring 2013, Prof. Boutin

Monday January 7, 2013 (Week 1) - See Course Outline.

(Other blogs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)


In the first lecture, we covered the syllabus. We then began discussing the concept of a "set" and covered some basic notation. We ended the lecture with a collaborative quiz where we practiced writing sets using the curly bracket notation. (Recall that you will get full credit on the quiz as long as you tried your best.) In case you were wondering, here is the MATLAB Code for the randomly generated music I played at the beginning:

t=0:1/8192:0.4;
do=sin(2*pi*262*t);
fa=sin(2*pi*349*t);
sol=sin(2*pi*329*t);
r=rand; if r<0.5, x=do;, elseif r<0.75, x=sol;, else, x=fa; end, sound(x)

A big thank you to ECE alumni Ethan Hall for providing today's chalk.
