This assignment encompasses a series of MATLAB programming exercises designed to reinforce fundamental concepts in signal processing, mathematical modeling, and numerical computation. Each problem requires implementing code that not only performs the specified calculations but also validates the results through visualizations and correctness checks, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles in electrical and computer engineering.

The first problem involves generating three different signals based on given mathematical expressions over a four-second interval, sampled at a high frequency of 44,100 samples per second. These signals are described by cosine functions with specified phase shifts and amplitudes—specifically, signals with frequencies of 700 Hz and other related frequencies. The task includes plotting the first 1000 samples of each signal for visual analysis, and using MATLAB's sound function to audibly differentiate these signals, thereby linking frequency characteristics with auditory perception. The problem further prompts analyzing the pitch of the signals: recognizing that the pitch for x1(t) is 700 Hz, and deducing the pitch of x2(t) based on its frequency component, which involves understanding the relationship between the cosine argument and fundamental frequency. Additionally, describing the sound of x3(t)—a superposition of signals—encourages students to interpret complex waveforms and their perceptual qualities.

The second problem involves solving a set of three linear equations for variables b, z, w, and y. MATLAB’s matrix operations and algebraic capabilities are employed to find the solutions efficiently, with supplementary code to verify the algebraic validity of the results. For example, computing the expression y - 2z + w - 2b confirms the correctness of the solution in relation to the specified equations. This exercise emphasizes solving systems of linear equations, a central task in both theoretical and applied electrical engineering, as well as validating computational solutions.

The third problem explores the computation of a power series expansion of a function y(x). The series is given in a general form involving summation over k, with terms comprising factorials and powers of x. The challenge is to write MATLAB code that calculates and plots y as a function of x over the range from 0 to 2π, for two different values of the parameter K (specifically, K=5 and K=50). Using 201 points along the x-axis ensures smooth curves for analysis. This problem highlights the use of series approximation methods, numerical summation, and visualization of mathematical functions, illustrating how infinite series can be practically rendered finite for engineering applications.
