Textbook: Principles of Signals and Systems by Fred Taylor, McGraw Hill 1994.


Collaboration (not copying) on homework and computer projects is encouraged.  All
computer projects MUST be done in MATLAB.  Class attendance is expected.  Exams 1
and 2 may be scheduled during the quiz period (F 4:00-6:00).

Using MATLAB On Sun/Sparcs (the disk seems to work better  on pc's):

       1. Insert floppy from textbook 
       2. FileManager->File->CheckForFloppy
       3. Mosaic->Engineering->Mathematics->MATLAB
       4. at >> prompt type these commands:
            >> cd /floppy/noname/matlab/chap1
            >> dir
            >> path(path,'/floppy/noname/matlab/chap1')
            >> path(path,'/floppy/noname/matlab')
            >> cd chap1
            >> ch1_12
            >>       (you have to type return to get second plot/spiral).
       5. You should see two damped exponentials displayed, similar but 
            not identical to Figure 1-26.
       6. Finally display the Matlab file:
            >> !cat ch1_12.m
