Prerequisites
          Algebra and Mathematical Analysis and knowledge of electrical concepts (e.g. Circuit Analysis).
Objectives
          The students will familiarise themselves with the theory of systems and signals with emphasis on continuous linear and time invariant systems 
They should be able to work with MATLAB 
 - a software for the analysis and simulation of signals systems. 
Program
          Classification of signals and systems. Analysis of continuous LIT systems time domain. Analysis of LIT systems in frequency domain: Laplace transform; transfer function; stability; transient response and steady state response,frequency response of 1st and 2nd order systems. Block diagram representation. Modelling of systems. Servomechanisms. Transient and steady state analysis. State-Space systems
Evaluation Methodology
          Written closed-book examination in the regular assessment seasons( 75%); and Practical assignments (25%).

Teaching Method
          Lectures expositive and demonstrative  where the study methods are described and exemplified; theoretical-practical and laboratory-practices lessons where application exercises are solved and
where laboratory experiments are implemented.
