=== What is the main purpose of this course? ===
 
The goal of the course is to present mathematical foundations of digital signal processing altogether with practical experience to design finite and infinite impulse response filters. The course is aimed to provide basic mathematical knowledge and practical skills needed for further studies of applied signal processing and digital signal processing from engineering as well as from mathematical perspective.
