Signals, Systems, and Information for Media Technology: Course Description
'Signals, Systems, and Information for Media Technology' is offered by the MIT Department of Media Arts and Sciences as a part of its OpenCourseWare initiative. The course is presented by instructors from the Media Lab Faculty. The course aims to help students develop audio and visual messages and analyze physiological signals obtained during research studies. Students will learn the meaning of terms, such as convolution and z-transforms, poles and zeros, and impulse and frequency responses. Other course topics include linear systems, Z-transforms and sampling rate conversion. Students will be able to improve upon their learning experience by working through a series of problems sets. Students who complete 'Signals, Systems, and Information for Media Technology' will be able to explain concepts, such as signals, systems and continuous-time and discrete-time representations.
The materials for this course include nine downloadable problem sets and a reading list. If you would like to take advantage of this course, visit the signals and information theory course page.
