6.01SC Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science I
6.01SC Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science I (Spring 2011, MIT OCW). Taught by Professor Dennis Freeman, this course provides an integrated introduction to electrical engineering and computer science, taught using substantial laboratory experiments with mobile robots. Our primary goal is for you to learn to appreciate and use the fundamental design principles of modularity and abstraction in a variety of contexts from electrical engineering and computer science. Our second goal is to show you that making mathematical models of real systems can help in the design and analysis of those systems. Finally, we have the more typical goals of teaching exciting and important basic material from electrical engineering and computer science, including modern software engineering, linear systems analysis, electronic circuits, and decision-making.

| Lecture 05 - Characterizing System Performance |
In this session, we'll learn about poles: what they are, how to find them, and what they tell us about the long-term behavior of an LTI system.
