Signals and Systems + Electromagnetics classes

In summary, the speaker is an EE student considering taking Signals & Systems, Electromagnetic, and Physics 3 classes in the upcoming semester. They are seeking advice on whether these classes are difficult and what math is required, as well as tips from those who have taken them before. They also mention having a full-time job and a family. It is suggested that they speak with their advisor for more specific information about the prerequisites and requirements for these classes.

Hi All,

I am a EE student and thinking about doing the following classes in Spring 16 -
Signals & Systems + Electromagnetic + Physics 3.

Any suggestions is Emag and Signal and systems very hard?, what Math do you need? (Dif Eq)
Is it a bad a idea taking these classes at the same time?
I work full time + I have a family..

Any tips for those who already took these classes?

thanks

Gerardo,

Not every university teaches these classes the same way so we cannot know what math you need. What are the official prereqs at the university you attend? In any case, your best bet is to speak with your advisor.

1. What is the difference between signals and systems?

Signals refer to any physical quantity that varies with time or space, such as voltage, current, or sound. Systems are mathematical models that describe the relationship between input and output signals. In other words, signals are the inputs and outputs of a system.

2. How do signals and systems relate to real-world applications?

Signals and systems are fundamental concepts in many fields, including electrical engineering, telecommunications, and computer science. They are used to analyze and design various systems, such as communication systems, control systems, and image processing systems.

3. What is the importance of understanding electromagnetics in relation to signals and systems?

Electromagnetics is the study of the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. Understanding electromagnetics is crucial in analyzing and designing systems that involve the transmission and reception of electromagnetic signals, such as in wireless communication systems.

4. How are signals and systems represented and analyzed?

Signals can be represented by mathematical functions, graphs, or tables, while systems are represented by mathematical models, such as differential equations, transfer functions, and state-space models. These representations are then used to analyze the behavior of signals and systems using various techniques, such as Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, and Z-transforms.

5. What are some common applications of signals and systems in everyday life?

Signals and systems play a vital role in numerous modern technologies, including cell phones, GPS devices, medical equipment, and digital cameras. They are also used in everyday activities, such as listening to music, watching television, and using the internet.
