Prerequisites
Differential and integral calculus for scalar and vector functions, matrices and linear transformations, sequences and series, power series in the real line, complex numbers, polar coordinates.
Learning outcomes
Students will be introduced to the basic mathematical tools for signal theory and optimization. To this aim, the course is divided in two parts. In the first part, MATHEMATICAL METHODS (6CFU), they will learn how to work in the complex framework, evaluate integrals of olomorphic functions, manipulate power and Fourier series, adopt the point of view of signal theory, calculate and operate with Z, Fourier and Laplace transforms, solve simple ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, understand convolutions. The second part, OPTIMIZATION AND DISCRETE TRANSFORMS (3CFU), will be devoted to the elementary notions of free and constraint optimization and to the basic techniques of the mathematical theory of discrete signals (DFT, FFT, convolutions) with simple applications to difference equations and numerical approximations.
