- 2.1: Definition of a System
- What is a system? Why is it important to create system models, especially mathematical ones?
- 2.2: Time-Invariant Systems
- Defines a time-invariant system. Provides method for assessing whether a system is time-invariant or not.
- 2.3: Linear Systems
- Defines linearity of a system and outlines the importance of linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems in modeling real-world situations.
- 2.4: The Impulse Response and Convolution
- Defines the response of an LTI system to an input as the convolution of that input and the system's impulse response function.
- 2.5: Causal Systems
- Adaptation of the convolution expression to account only for response after the input has been applied (after t=0), which is useful for analyzing physical systems.
- 2.6: An Example of Finding the Impulse Response
- How to define a LTI system by finding the impulse response for its differential equation.
- 2.7: Complex Numbers
- The connection between a complex number and complex exponential (De Moivre's theorem), and how this allows a complex number to be visualized in the Cartesian plane.
- 2.8: Fourier Transform
- The Fourier transform is the underlying principle for frequency-domain description of signals: it allows a time-domain signal to be transformed into a (complex) frequency-domain version, and to be transformed back as necessary.
- 2.9: The Angle of a Transfer Function
- Useful properties of the Fourier (and Laplace) transforms, involving the magnitude and angle of the transfer function.
- 2.10: The Laplace Transform
- A basic overview of the role of the Laplace transform in analyzing dynamic systems, the Convolution Theorem, and in solving differential equations.
