Mathematics of Musical Signals 1: Signals and Filters

Department - LART
Offered - Fall
Course number - LMSC-P310

This course introduces students to the mathematics behind musical signals. Students learn about how signals are represented using trigonometry and complex numbers, converted to a digital format, represented using the Discrete Fourier Transform, and modified using filters. Students build on the knowledge gained in the prerequisite acoustics class (LMSC-208 or LMSC-209), and extend that knowledge into the mathematical realm.
