This is a very tough and challenging course. Many students find it frustrating and difficult. It will make extensive use of trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, and complex analysis. If you need to review and redevelop facility with the key concepts and tools from these mathematical areas, I strongly encourage you to do so promptly. The course assumes that you are well versed in all of those topics.

Moreover, there are many new concepts that the student has to master. During the class you will need to get acquainted with essential ingredients of every engineer's toolkit: Fourier series and Fourier transform, impulse response and convolution, Laplace transforms. You will find yourself applying these tools in many of your future classes ranging from circuits to communications, control, image processing.

In order to do well in the class, you have to work very hard to stay current throughout the quarter. If you take even one week off, it will be very hard
to catch up. Be prepared to work very hard.
