DSP math

Started by Tuurbo46 August 5, 2005
Hi

Im about to start my final year at university and undertake my specilised 
DSP module.  Can anybody advice me on some warm up maths to prepare me?  I 
would preper if somebody could recommend a book with plenty of undergraduate 
worked examples.

Cheers Turbo 


1 - 1 = 0

2 + 2 =4

3 * 5 = 15


Sorry I couldn't resist.....

Just look through any "Signals and Systems" books and freshen up on
Fourier Series, Laplace transforms, Z-transforms.

DSP is a broad term, are you doing image processing, filtering, ...
each niche requires a different set of math skills. Some are heavier in
Algebra, some in infinite series, some differential equations, etc.

Some of the math textbooks which I had to dig out of storage to refresh my memory before starting on some DSP related projects included those covering calculus of complex variables and numerical analysis (paying attention to algorithmic stability and error bounds). Good working knowledge of good ole' binary arithmetic was also helpful for many types of DSP projects. But as another poster mentioned, DSP covers a lot of engineering problem areas, each possibly requiring its own area of mathmatics for a better understanding (including, but not limited to: linear algebra, orthogonal function representations, information theory, statistical analysis, etc., etc.) IMHO. YMMV. -- rhn A.T nicholson d.O.t C-o-M

Well the first thing is to spell it right...Maths (plural) as in proper English. Shytot

might be proper English but improper American (dunno what them Canuks have to say about it - they say "Zed"). on this side of the pond, we say "math" for the same reason we say "history" (instead of "Don't know much about histories, don't know much about biologies..."). but since Tuurbo is posting from svr.pol.co.uk, you might have a point. BTW, Tuurbo, you might need to hire a tutor. when i was at Northwestern, the Tech Institute had dozens of posters up by tutors advertising. i think some of them were grad students or post-grads or maybe some very bright seniors. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Richard Feynman calls it math. Looks like the noble prize winner is wrong. Maybe you are super women. I will try to look out for your name on the next Physics paper.

And I suppose you want me to spell aluminum "alumulum" or some such. :-) OH! I remember: aluminium, like chrominium. Got it!
