Tim, you've never used a regular old DSP like a 56K or 2105 or SHArC or some TI abomination? just curious. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Neither of them had anything remotely resembling the matrix multiply code I needed, and their FIR filter code sucked for my purposes. Both of them ended up with ~50 lines of assembly and lots and lots of C (or C++, in the case of the 2812). -- www.wescottdesign.com

That's great for old style circuit switched telecoms, but it doesn't work in the modern world of packet switching. A theory that applies to packet switching still seems to be a work on progress. What does your particular course cover?>PROBABILTY COURSEI think people who haven't been through a basic statistics course should be denied the vote. Very little in this world makes much sense without a basic understanding of statistics, and people start believing in weird stuff.>game theoryThis is good stuff to learn too, but seems like something that should probably come later than the first two.>more over does he need programming language such as java for exampleYou really should learn at least one programming language. Java has the benefit that its now the one most widely taught as a beginner's language, so there are lots of courses around. As other's have said, if you want to develop embedded code C would be more appropriate. It really depends on what you want (or can find the opportunity) to do. Steve
