Homework Assignments

Please put your name next to the assignment, linking it to your submission

• HW #1 - Make a personal page on this wiki (Chris Lau)(Jodi S. Hodge)(Chris Wills)
• HW #2 - Write a tutorial about installing and/or using Octave (Chris Lau)(Jodi S. Hodge)(Victor Shepherd)
• HW #3 - Show graphically that $\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }e^{j2\pi f(t-u)}\,df=\delta (t-u)$ (Chris Lau)(Jodi S. Hodge)(Chris Wills)(Victor Shepherd)

• HW #4 - Given a linear time-invariant system where $\ u(t)$ produces an output $\ w(t)$, find the output due to any function $\ x(t)$ (Chris Lau)
• HW #5: (Chris Lau)
  • Part 1 - Find ${\mathcal {F}}[e^{-\sigma t}x(t)u(t)]$ and relate it to the Laplace Transform. Derive the Inverse Laplace Transform of this from the inverse Fourier Transform.
  • Part 2 -
    

• HW #6 Pick a property of the Fourier Transform & present it on the Wiki. Make a table with all your properties. Interpret your property. (Ben Henry)
