Objectives:

Introduce the students to the basic types of signals and systems encountered in engineering and to the important definitions and properties of these systems.

Introduce the students to methods that allow us to characterize and analyze continuous-time signals and systems in terms of their frequency responses and frequency content.

Introduce the students to methods that allow us to characterize and analyze continuous-time signals and systems in terms of their time-domain behavior.
