What's the minimum math knowledge I need before taking a Digital Signal Processing course. Do you think three months and two weeks is enough to learn the basis if I work 2 to 3 hours a day? It's some kind of life defining choice I'm making right now.
I mean: are complex numbers & Integral enough to start or I need more basis...

Do you know what Fourier series, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, discrete Fourier transforms, and FFTs are?
>>8074021
Idk

Probably this.
OP if you've taken a class in PDEs, I think you should be ok.
Three months and 2 weeks? It depends on how much math you already know...obviously.
Do you know calculus? Basic ODEs? Then sure it would be absolutely reasonable, no question.
Do you just know basic calculus? Then yeah it's reasonable?
Do you not even know how to do calculus? Then no, I would say you need more time.
The good news is you can just quickly learn these things without the proofs unless you want to learn them, so it's up to you.
So it really depend if you're already very comfortable with calculus or not. If you are, then sure you should be fine.

Go learn PDEs. Then I think you'll be fine to take the course.

No, I had exam about Fourier transform long time ago and scored something like 5/20. I never gave a fuck about math but now I have a purpose so I need to re-learn all that stuff seriously.

Same for PDE, I learnt how to solve the simple ones long time ago, like 10 years ago and I know basic calculus. I think I just need a serious study plan and stick to it. I know I can do it, but I don't know where to start.I will take a look at Calculus I & II just to see if my knowledges are still up to date and go from there I guess.
Calculus, tons of trig, and understanding of complex numbers. It is a fun course if you know what is going on.
>Do you think three months and two weeks is enough to learn the basis if I work 2 to 3 hours a day?
Yeah.
This is an example of what we had to do when I took it.

That's what you learn in DSP classes
and Laplace isn't used in DSP though I guess you could argue the z-transform is a particular case of it

Depends on the school. Most assume you know it already going in.

really? in my DSP class at UCLA and now I TA one at another pretty good school that's taught as part of the intro DSP class
