Maths Skills

[Isobel W]

By the end of this course, how much of the maths are we expected to understand? I have been doing the tutorials and trying to understand the concepts behind things but feel quite intimidated by it as I haven’t done maths formally since I was 16. Just want to make sure I am not too far behind. Thanks

The Speech Processing course prioritises conceptual understanding over mathematical ability.

If you can draw a diagram of a concept, and explain it in words, then you’ll do well on this course.

The SIGNALS tutorials at the start of this course involve maths that most students will find challenging. You won’t be directly examined on this maths: we’re using it as a tool to explain and understand the concepts.

Keep trying to understand the maths, and keep asking for help with it. But always remember that it’s the concepts that really matter.
