Maybe you have read a bit already and wonder who the heck wrote all that. So, as is right and proper, let my introduce myself.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Florian Roemer, I was born in 1981 somewhere in the middle of Germany. Since a kid I had a special love for numbers and for computers whiche eventually led me to study computer engineering at <a title=\"Ilmenau University of Technology\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tu-ilmenau.de\">Ilmenau University of Technology<\/a>, followed by pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering, more specifically, at the <a href=\"http:\/\/tu-ilmenau.de\/crl\">Communications Research Laboraroty<\/a> at ITU. I completed it in October 2012 (<a title=\"Dissertation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.florian-roemer.de\/?page=diss\">check my dissertation if you like<\/a>). Since then I&#8217;ve been a postdoctoral research fellow at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tu-ilmenau.de\/en\/digital-broadcasting-research-laboratory\/\">Digital Broadcasting Research Laboratory<\/a> at ITU.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the work of communications engineers nowadays is related to digital signal processing in one or another way. I personally have a special devotion for the mathematical concepts behind the algorithms and another special devotion for explaining things. My position at ITU comes with a lot of teaching, which I enjoy very much (check out <a title=\"My teaching website at the CRL. Partly in German.\" href=\"http:\/\/www2.tu-ilmenau.de\/nt\/de\/private_home\/roemer\/index.html\">my old teaching website <\/a>with a couple of slides and MATLAB programs if you like). It was the combination of these two that has motivated to start this little blog here. There are quite a number of rather simple mathematical concepts that are of enormeously great use to an engineer and I found that they are often not known among students. So I decided to write them down in form of a blog, to make them publicly accessible.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all due diligence I put into writing the postings I cannot guarantee they are error-free, so take what you read with caution. If you find errors, let me know by commenting or dropping me an email, I&#8217;d really appreciate it. I&#8217;ll mention your name in the credits if you like.<\/p>\n<p>Another word of warning here: Although I love the simplicity of the algebraic concepts and the sheer unlimited power of MATLAB &#8211; I will not do your homework. E-Mailing me assignments with text \u00e0la &#8220;Please help&#8221; will trigger not much more thant he delete button. The same goes for leaving such comments on the blog.
