			== Background and Goals ==

			This
			course covers the fundamental mathematics of information systems,
			including key concepts and theories from communications, computer
			science, control theory, information theory and networking. Topics
			include: mathematical representations of information, signals and
			systems, computational complexity, fundamental limits of feedforward
			and feedback systems (Bode/Shannon), applications of graph theory to
			distributed systems.

	'''CS/EE 145 abc. Networking.''' 9 units (3-3-3) first, second terms; (0-0-9) third term. Prerequisite: Ma 2 ab; instructor’s permission required for part c. This course introduces the basic mechanisms and protocols in communication networks, and mathematical models for their analysis. Part a covers topics such as digitization, switching, switch design, routing, error control (ARQ), flow control, layering, queuing models, optimization models, basics of protocols in the Internet, wireless networks, and optical networks. Part b covers current research topics in the design, analysis, control, and optimization of networks, protocols, and applications. In part c, students are expected to execute a substantial project in networking, write up a report describing their work, and make a presentation. CS 145 b may be repeated for credit with the instructor’s permission.		'''CS/EE 145 abc. Networking.''' 9 units (3-3-3) first, second terms; (0-0-9) third term.

			'''EE 111. Signals, Systems, and Transforms.''' 9 units (3-0-6); first term. Prerequisites: Ma 1, Ma 2. EE 45 recommended. An introduction to continuous and discrete time signals and systems. Study of the Fourier transform, Fourier series, the Laplace transform, Z-transforms, and the fast Fourier transform as applied in electrical engineering. Various types of systems, with emphasis on linear and time invariant systems. Transfer functions, difference and differential equations, state space representations, system realizations with block diagrams, and analysis of transient and steady state responses. Sampling theorems for analog to digital conversion.

Line 11:		Line 11:
	An introduction to analysis and design of feedback control systems, including classical control theory in the time and frequency domain. Modeling of physical, biological, and information systems using linear and nonlinear differential equations. Stability and performance of interconnected systems, including use of block diagrams, Bode plots, the Nyquist criterion, and Lyapunov functions. Robustness and uncertainty management in feedback systems through stochastic and deterministic methods. Introductory random processes, Kalman filtering, and norms of signals and systems. The first term of this course is taught concurrently with CDS 101, but includes additional lectures, reading, and homework that is focused on analytical techniques for design and synthesis of control systems.
