So in class today the professor was teaching his lesson like always so at the end he says to us you guys to good to day and right when he was about to leave he told us to look at z-transform now i went on wikipedia and looked it up and WOW!!

karma to anyone who knows how to explain this in english

Short and sweet, and especially clear!: Some gay Calculus or whatever shit that is totally un-understandable to regular human beings (This excludes geeks, nerds, bookworms, math lovers, teachers, and Albert Einsten), which doesnt help with anything you will ever do in your life...pwn3d

If someone can explain that in English they should be working for NASA or a think tank at least.

Its like the Fourier Transform or Laplace transform but for discrete signals, e.g. non-continuous (think digital). It's analogous (har har) to math used in analog systems. It is extremely useful sadly, so you are gonna have to learn it if your in comp/elec engineering.

Just did that shit 2 terms ago for signal processing courses - it's actually pretty easy as long as you remeber partial fractions expansion and some barebones methods to solve. Do not do the Z-transform by hand if you can avoid it or you will be dealing with way too many cases, just do partial fractions and use the residue formula.

Yeah I didn't get that high paying job because I didn't know what z-transform was..

Fuck math.

You know the people who're explaining this in the thread right now?

I pay people like them to do my math problems for me.

I know the Z transform and my head has still also imploded.

well basicly to turn non continous sequence of real numbers into complex output.

Useful for probability learning.

I hope you make exercises on it, then it will be more clear.

Ok.. I nenglish (not my first language, so bear with me if I make a mistake:

First of all, when talking about a Z-transform, you ALMOST always mean a UNILATERAL Z-transform. So you can forget the others.
For electrical engineering it's nice to remember that laplace (as someone mentioned) deals with the DIFFERENTIAL equations and s-planes, where Z-transform deals with DIFFERENCE equations and the z-plane. However, the two are not identical, as the S-plane is "rectangular" where the Z-plane is "polar". In essence a Z-transform is the basics in a recursive digital filter !
Now if you're a student of electrical engineering, I guess that's about all you need to know to really understand it. The math behind it is a bit more complex to explain without an example. This link will give you a little more insight than the wiki:
http://www.ee.adfa.edu.au/Staff/a-lambe … 2Part4.pdf

If it's the MATH that's a problem, post again, and find out how many math buffs there truely ae in the BF2S forums (I'll bet a LOT)

okkk new question


what does this mean 0<a<1

what does that mean oh and im doing work on functions y=-af (-k (x-h)) + K

that stuff

0<a<1 means a is less than one, but greater than 0.....so a is a number between 0 and 1, 0.5 for example.
