ECE 5024 - Math Methods for ECE (3C)

Course Description

Continuous and discrete time mathematical concepts and tools important to electrical and computer engineers. Transform techniques using Fourier series, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, sampling theory, and z-transform. Linear algebra using eigen expansions, polynomial functions, matrices, and determinants. Random variables using probability density and distribution functions, functions of a random variable, and conditional and joint probabilities.

Why take this course?

The expanding MEng program within the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will experience significant growth in the number of MEng students that are working professional and have been removed from the academia for a period of time. This course will provide a foundation of mathematical principles, concepts and tools essential for electrical and computer engineering problem solving and ensuring the working profession has the state-of-the-art knowledge, skills and experience with modern software tools to be successful as they articulate through the MEng programs.
