    • 1.1: MATLAB Basics
      The first lab exercise introduces students to the MATLAB environment and language with an emphasis on signal processing applications. Students solve a system of equations, manipulate complex numbers, vectorize an equation, and manipulate sound and image files.
    • 1.2: Tuning Forks
      The second lab exercise reinforces the concepts of period and frequency by having students record the sound of a tuning fork and measuring characteristics of the audio signal.
    • 1.3: Impulse Response and Auralization
      The third lab uses the impulse response of a system to simulate how things sound in different locations.
    • 1.4: Frequency Response - Notch and Bandpass Filters
      Lab four explores various filter types, including notch and bandpass.
    • 1.5: Fourier Series
      Lab five has students compare the Fourier series coefficients of a tone played by a trumpet and a flute. Students also have the opportunity to make their own "instrument" by manipulating Fourier series coefficients.
    • 1.6: Introduction to Digital Images
      Lab six introduces students to basic pixel manipulation and displaying images in MATLAB.
    • 1.7: Filtering Digital Images
      Lab seven lets students apply two-dimensional filters for noise reduction and edge detection.
