625.260 Introduction to Linear Systems

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Johns Hopkins University
Fall 2011

General Information

Personnel: Pablo A. Iglesias, 226A Barton Hall. [email protected]

Lectures: Monday, 7:20-10:00, Kossiakoff Center K4.

Prerequisites: Differential and Integral Calculus.

Structure: There will be weekly problem sets. Solutions will be due at the beginning of the class next week.

Text: Oppenheim, A.V. and A.S. Willsky, Signals and Systems, 2nd Edition, Prentice- Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1997. Note, in the past, some students have found the Schaum's outline book: Hsu, H.P., Signals and Systems, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1995, to be useful. It contains many solved problems on the material that we covered. It is not required and if you do use it, be aware that some of the notation may be slightly dierent than that of Oppenheim and Willsky.

Grading: Homeworks 64% (best eight), Final 36%.

Grading will be based on a series of homework assignments. I will take the best eight of your performances.
