    How to reconstruct a signal using the Discrete Haar Wavelet transform?

    Sorry, I had seen that resource and it's much different from what we've done in class.

    How to reconstruct a signal using the Discrete Haar Wavelet transform?

    Homework Statement Hi, for a project for school, I need to implement the Discrete Haar Wavelet Transform to compress an audio signal. This would be fine and dandy, but I do not really understand how to use the the DHWT. Could anyone direct me towards some resources that would be very helpful...

    Okay, thanks. I was just making sure!

    Proving Linear Dependence in Spanned Vectors

    Homework Statement This should be an easy one, I'm just making sure that I'm not screwing up horribly. Prove that if v is in span(v1,v2, ..., vN), then v, v1, v2, ..., vN are linearly dependent.Homework Equations span(v1,v2, ..., vN) = {Ʃaivi}.The Attempt at a Solution If v is in span(v1,v2...

    Professor is a nice guy, but he is not teaching well. Thoughts?

    Considering I didn't copy and paste the e-mail for all to see, how would you know if the e-mail was "undiplomatic?" I did mention setting up an appointment with him in #10, 17 posts before you chimed in. When I mentioned my professor's response to my e-mail, I was simply providing an...

    Professor is a nice guy, but he is not teaching well. Thoughts?

    Well, I finally got a reply. It was two sentences, and it pretty much equated to "read my notes." Like I've said before, even his notes assume that we've covered material that we actually haven't. He said he wanted to focus on more of a physical intuition before getting into the mathematics...

    Professor is a nice guy, but he is not teaching well. Thoughts?

    Your guess is as good as mine. There's a HUGE Matlab component. None of us are really that great at MATLAB, but he assigns us problem sets (usually unrelated to what we're learning in class) that are almost nothing but MATLAB. No guidance. It wouldn't be that bad if we were familiar with the...

    Professor is a nice guy, but he is not teaching well. Thoughts?

    Everyone, thanks for your answers! I e-mailed my professor this morning, and when he responds, we'll probably set up some sort of meetng. SunnyBoyNY: I understand this, but are there not certain elements of the course that you must learn prior to covering Fourier Transforms? We didn't even...

    Professor is a nice guy, but he is not teaching well. Thoughts?

    SunnyBoyNY: I appreciate your help, but did you fully read my post? I've consulted a lot of external resources, including the book by Oppenheim & his lectures at MIT OpenCourseware. They're incredibly helpful, but it's difficult for me to make great use of them when, like I said earlier...

    Professor is a nice guy, but he is not teaching well. Thoughts?

    I am currently enrolled in an introductory Systems & Signals Processing course. The problem is, this has thus far turned into a series of lectures on the nuances of the Fourier Transform, i.e. special cases and difficult problems. Why am I complaining? Well, in his syllabus, he lists a...

    How to take the fourier transform of a function?

    Yes, that is correct. I know that sin(t) = (1/2) * j * (e-t - et), so x(t) = (1/2)*j*(et(-j-1) - et(j-1)). But then I'd have something really painful to integrate, right?

    How to take the fourier transform of a function?

    Homework Statement Find the Fourier transform of x(t) = e-t sin(t), t >=0. We're barely 3 weeks into my signals course, and my professor has already introduced the Fourier transform. I barely understand what it means, but I just want to get through this problem set.Homework Equations I...

    Gravitational Forces Question Tricky

    Perhaps I should have used slightly different variables for the equation that I wrote down; it was meant to be a general formula.

    Alright, awesome, I was just unsure of myself. Thanks!

    Gravitational Forces Question Tricky

    I accidentally type the inverse square law incorrectly, but I edited my initial post to fix that. Why would I need three masses if the mass of the object cancels out?
