A Computer Graphics Workstation for Digital Signal Processing In Undergraduate Physics and Geophysics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has integrated an important type of computing called digital signal processing, or DSP into its academic programs. The technique is used to extract information from data in fields such as geophysics, astronomy, meteorology and medicine. Currently DSP is practiced at UW Oshkosh in three different academic programs: physics, computer science and geophysics. Support from the National Science Foundation, matched by UW Oshkosh funds, will be used to purchase a graphics computer workstation, consisting of a Digital Equipment Corporation MicroVax graphics workstation, so that students learning DSP can practice with problems of real-world size and complexity. In addition, data from experiments such as acoustic imaging within the earth, or magnetic resonance data, will be analysed as part of student projects.
