This document discusses signals and systems. It defines signals as physical quantities that vary with respect to time, space, or another independent variable. Signals can be classified as discrete time or continuous time. It also defines unit impulse and unit step functions for discrete and continuous time. Periodic and aperiodic signals are discussed. The Fourier series and Fourier transform are introduced as ways to represent signals in the frequency domain. The Laplace transform, which generalizes the Fourier transform, is also mentioned. Key properties of linear time-invariant systems like superposition, time-invariance, and convolution are covered. Finally, sampling theory and the z-transform, which is analogous to the Laplace transform for discrete-time systems, are summarized at a high level
