Some good supplementary textbooks:<\/p>\n<p><em>Elementary Differential Equations &amp; Boundary Value Problems<\/em> by Boyce &amp; DiPrima is often used at UBC.  Chapters 10 &amp; 11 cover the first four weeks of course material. <\/p>\n<p><em>Schaum&#8217;s Outline of Signals and Systems<\/em> by Hsu. Chapters 1,2,4,5 and 6 cover the later part of the course.  It is cheap, available from Amazon, and contains a lot of worked examples.  The 2<sup>nd<\/sup> edition contains extra chapters not related to the course.<\/p>\n<p>Other references you might find useful:<\/p>\n<p><em>Signals &amp; Systems<\/em> by Oppenheim &amp; Willsky is the course textbook for EECE 359.  It is <a href=\"http:\/\/resolve.library.ubc.ca\/cgi-bin\/catsearch?bid=3110443\">available<\/a> on two-hour loan from the IK Barber library.  Chapters 4, 5 &amp; 10 discuss most course topics.  Lectures, slides &amp; exercises follow Oppenheim &amp; Willsky\u2019s notation whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p><em>Signals &amp; Systems with MATLAB<\/em> by Karris is an online textbook <a href=\"http:\/\/site.ebrary.com\/lib\/ubc\/Doc?id=10223892\">available<\/a> from the UBC library. Chapters 7, 8, 9 &amp; 10 discuss most course topics, albeit with a different order and emphasis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Homework<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There will be nine or ten sets of exercises, posted on the course website.  Not every assigned exercise will be marked.  You are intended to work on exercises as the material is discussed in lecture.  Homework will be due either Monday or Wednesday, in class. Late homework will not be accepted. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Exams &amp; Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Midterms will be held <strong>7-8pm<\/strong> <em>Thursday January 31<sup>st<\/sup><\/em>, and <em>Thursday March 7<sup>th<\/sup><\/em>. You must inform the instructor of any conflicts before the fourth lecture.<\/p>\n<p>If you miss a midterm due to a medical emergency, you must present a doctor\u2019s note as soon as possible.  In such a situation the grading scheme will be adjusted so that the final exam makes up the difference. There will be no make-up midterms. <\/p>\n<p>The final exam period is <em>April 10<sup>th<\/sup> to 24<sup>th<\/sup><\/em>. An exact date will be announced in March. <\/p>\n<p>Your grade for the course will be computed roughly as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Assigned Exercises: 10%<\/p>\n<p>Midterms: 20% each<\/p>\n<p>Final Exam: 50%<\/p>\n<p>All marks are subject to scaling to ensures fairness with section 202.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About MAT267 This course covers a selection of topics that are essential for electrical and computer engineering, and is basically a continuation of MAT265.
