Course Objective:
The course will consist of an overview of mathematical processes and algorithms related to fundamental engineering results, leading to innovative experimentations in visualizations through the learned algorithms. Topics to be covered include 1) Filtering, sampling, and reconstruction, 2) Fourier Series, Orthogonal Series, and Approximations, 3) Convolution and System Response, 4) Transfer Functions and Filtering, 5) Mutual Information, 6) The likelihood ratio and hypothesis testing, 7) Markov Chains, 8) Discrete Transforms, Self-similar transforms.
The course's goals are to foster both engineering level research in conjunction with the experimental approach of the Visual Arts. Due to the inter-disciplinary nature of the course, students will be expected to work in teams, to achieve meaningful results in both Engineering and the Arts.
Course structure: weekly lectures by each faculty followed by lab production work.
