This is an incredible explanation. I wish you the best professor!

It's a joke that this kind of video has only 264 views it should be 2Million. God bless u sir

Already passed my Signal Analysis course last year, but I never really understood the fundamental theory behind convolution. This explanation would have made my life significantly easier, since the way I have been tought convolution was, well, very convoluted... (it involved a lot of graphs that were very abstract...)

Thanks Iain for making a fun video on a challenging concept on signals :D

[VICTOR-cude]

Best channel of telecommunications by far. You are helping me to do my research for my degree final project. All the best for you from Spain

[chengshen]

Really a brilliant and novel illustration about convolution! I'm from UNSW but really find the content of this channel much more helpful than EET's 2nd year course on signal and systems😅

A scholar has no free time. Always thinks

[whyargon]

most uni lecturers dont understand how to explain concepts properly, relating them to easy to understand real world situations (exactly what you've done) makes everything so much clearer. thank you

[parthapratimboruah]

How fascinating it is that we get to see people like you sharing knowledge in unique ways!!! You got the idea while riding a bike and there you are sharing that with us. Thanks

Teachers like you make world a better place for others..

This is the best explanation of convolution I have heard to date. As a life-long cyclist, I only wish I had heard the bicycle spoke analogy as a EE undergrad over 45 years ago.

Very good analogy - thank you for your time and effort in creating those wonderful videos. I think 14K like in 1 year for this video is little, it should be 1 million. I took 5 courses on signals and systems back in late 80s and I got straight A, I do refresh and review to keep information fresh in my head. I love this subject a lot.

This guy is thinking about convolution on a bike ride. Riding while working is savage behavior. Lol!

[sudiptamandal]

What an explanation Wish I could get you as my college prof.
In India most of Electronics students find signals and system boring as we are not taught this way....

what's the timestamp of the kookaburra?!!L???

[edmondscott]

Like comparing power factor to horse towing a barge on a canal. I hope some people now understand convolution. If you do well done.

[cledieu]

The 2 pillars of pedagogy : repetition and reformulation ! Very helpful, Thank you Sir.

❤❤❤❤
Wow, lucky are those who have you as their teacher ❤
Much love and huge respect professor❤

[HarpreetSingh-kezk]

Salute to your dedication in putting a tough concept into practical terms.
Unless the term "convolution" is used repeatedly without a nonmathematical explanation.

This is brilliant! Another analogy: I have a linear pain response when slapped, which is H. My father always slap me when I fail in math exams which is the input X. One time I messed up so bad that my dad decided to slap me continuously all day. So my pain level at any given moment t during that day is the convolution of (X*H )(t) !😂

[foxnevertelllies]

Wonderful, Simple and Excellent explanation of convolution.
Thank you Professor....
