It

Discrete-Time Systems A discrete-time system processes a given input sequence x[] to generates an output sequencey[n] with more desirable properties In most applications, the discrete-time system is a single-input, single-output system:

Z-Transform The DTFT provides a frequency-domain representation of discrete-time signals and LTI discrete-time systems Because of the convergence condition, in many cases. the DTFT of a sequence may not exist As a result, it is not possible to make use of such frequency-domain characterization in these cases

Lecture 4 Sustainable Development The concept of Resource Hunker(1964) pointed out that a resource can no longer be conceived as a tangible object; but a functional relationship that exists between man's wants

Why one needs statistics for describing physical phenomena? Any measurable macroscopic property is an average over a very huge number of microscopic configurations. Time scale of thermal fluctuations and basic relaxations~fs(femto second, 10-15 second). During the time interval necessary for realizing a measurement, a macroscopic system undergoes the change of its microscopic configuration for many many times!
