Exams

11/18: There is an error on the first page of problem 10. The expression for h(t) and its corresponding graph are incorrect. It should be e^(-t)*u(t). Please refer to the updated notes.
11/17: There was a small error in the table of Fourier transforms provided during the review session. One of the lines for f(t) listed was e^(-a*abs(t))u(t). u(t) should not be there so please correct f(t) to e^(-a*abs(t)). Sorry for that mistake.
11/17: Review session notes (all 40+ pages of them!) are now posted. Please note that the notes may be slightly different from the notes given during today's session. The notes were accidentally not saved, and so the notes had to be rewritten. But all the problems covered during the session should be there.
11/15: Notes for Lecture #9 now posted.

11/14: Notes for Discussion #7 now posted.
11/13: There is a k missing in the expression for H(kwo) as well as the final expression for y(t). The imaginary term should be j*3*pi*k. Please refer to the updated solutions with corrections marked in red. If you find any more errors, please send Eldridge an e-mail to let him know.
