_"I want to make one minor quibble about the idea that there's Mathematics behind anything, there is no math behind anything math is one of the languages that we use to describe the world, computational languages are also languages that we use to describe the world"_ .
_Allen Downey_
This is the best thing I've heard in my scientific life. Thank you Mr. Downey.

[Yongbangxiang]

it's not just the technical aspects of the talk, but rather the motivation behind why Allen is doing it (first 1min of talk) and his enthusiasm that impressed me. we need more teachers like him

[lucaserburu]

Thanks Allen for all your contribution for people who are interested and really enjoy working with DSP and Python

[Yongbangxiang]

fantastic ! passionate presenter + interactive coding + clear explanation.. !

[frab]

the LTI convolution example was mesmerising.

[MarkJay]

Nice talk. The violin example with convolution reverb was really cool

[Digiphex]

This guy is making the leap to Fourier much easier with his work.

You could probably use that room acoustic transfer in video games quiet effectively. having the same set of base sounds, and then layering on the environment would be a pretty nice system that wouldn't require too much work

[SuperLucasGuns]

had watched this video a while back, now after taking a systems and signals course I actually understand the violin & gun example. omg this is beautiful

[NiVofHiR]

You are a GODSEND sir! Thank you for sharing your book and code!

[zetaconvex]

Allen Downey always has the most fascinating material.

[kirankotari]

Awesome, I enjoyed it. I was not getting the basics of DSP before, this is good.

Given a flute music file, how can we convert the music to notes and decompress the file back to audio blocks using literally any method( trained spectograms, any ML algorithm..)

[durgaganesh]

Hi sir you done awesome job.i have question is it possible find glitch or noise from wav file?

[laurencelstewart]

If you change the interval of the red alert signal and make a second one with e^-t frequency dependence, and then splice them together, you'll get the Siren sound from Kill Bill.

We are implementing the Mamuni project in Kenya and eventually in India and other countries enabling unsophisticated users to make a local phone call on an inexpensive mobile phone and speak any of the indigenous languages of Kenya and listen to Mamuni guide them through steps to enable messaging and a variety of additional Internet-like applications. We need to be able to process single-word user input and compare it to a small number of words recorded by a native speaker of the indigenous language in which the user is speaking. Would you or someone you know be interested in helping us address this issue? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Amazing! Allen Downey you are a rock star!

[yaredkassaLegesse]

you are doing a great work keep it up.

Signal processing is time series analysis in the statistical world
