ECE 3100: Circuit Analysis

Special Announcement!!!

Course Description

In this course you will learn to use the basic mathematical tools that are so important in electrical engineering: Fourier Series, Fourier Transforms and Laplace Transforms. Facility in these will allow us to discuss the generic signal problem . We will also learn to specify a system using its so-called transfer function.

This will allow us to describe both systems and signals using either time-domain descriptions or frequency domain descriptions. We will proceed to do this by reinforcing our knowledge of elementary linear circuits gained in ECE 2100. Yes, this is really exciting stuff!
