| Credit: 6 points Availability: Semester 1
(See Timetable) Old unit code: 530.358
|
| |
| Outcomes: Students are able to apply concepts of random processes and complex analysis to relevant problems in engineering; extend their knowledge of statistical techniques and adapt known solutions to different situations; communicate effectively with others; present results in a logical and coherent fashion; undertake continuous learning, and realise that an understanding of fundamentals is necessary for effective application. |
| |
| Content: This unit consists of two parts. Part one (26 lectures and ten workshops) covers the following topics from the theory of random processes: introduction to random processes, discrete-time Markov chains; Poisson processes, Brownian motion and related processes; stationarity and ergodicity; stationary random processes and introduction to linear filtering. Part two (13 lectures and three workshops) covers complex function theory: elementary properties of analytic functions of a complex variable; differential and integral calculus for analytic functions; introduction to Fourier and Laplace transforms. |
| |
| Assessment: This comprises an examination at the end of the semester and in-semester tests or assignments. All assessment tasks require students to apply their knowledge of the unit content to solve previously unseen problems. Credit is given for clarity and correctness of presentation as well as for actual results. |

Books and other material wherever listed may be subject to change.
Book lists relating to 'Preliminary Reading', 'Recommended Reading' and 'Textbooks' are, in most cases, available at the University Co-operative Bookshop (from early January) and appropriate administrative offices for students to consult. For first-year units the Bookshop will endeavour to make available photocopies of book lists for individual units. Books marked with an asterisk (*) are available in paperback. |
