Lecture 1 Blog, ECE302 Spring 2013, Prof. Boutin

Monday January 7, 2011 (Week 3) - See Course Outline.

In the first lecture, we covered the syllabus. We then began discussing the concept of a "set" and covered some basic notation. In case you were wondering, here is the MATLAB Code for the randomly generated music I played at the beginning:

t=0:1/8192:0.4;
do=sin(2*pi*262*t);
fa=sin(2*pi*349*t);
sol=sin(2*pi*329*t);
r=rand; if r<0.5, x=do;, elseif r<0.75, x=sol;, else, x=fa; end, sound(x)

A big thank you to ECE alumni Ethan Hall for providing today's chalk.
