Course overview and goals
This course covers fundamental topics on complex analysis, Laplace transform, and Fourier analysis, which are essential in the field of systems and control engineering. Specifically, it is important to be aware of the connection between time domain and frequency domain characterizations.
In this course, we focus on linear systems and go over calculus of complex functions, residue theorem, deriving solutions of differential equations with Laplace transform, periodic functions and Fourier series, aperiodic functions and Fourier transform, and convolution theorems.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand fundamental facts in complex analysis
2) Compute complex integral for real-valued functions
3) Explain characteristics on signal and systems and characterize connections between time domain and frequency domain
4) Acquire fundamentals of Laplace transform and apply it to solve linear dynamical systems
5) Expand periodic functions in Fourier series and characterize aperiodic functions using Fourier transform
Keywords

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
