Lecture at Park University Aims to Discuss Utilization of Trigonometry in Electrical Engineering
In an upcoming lecture at Park University's Jenkin and Barbara David Theater, Daniel Curtin, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Northern Kentucky University, will delve into the fascinating world of modulation theory in electrical engineering. The lecture, titled "Mathematics and Electrical Engineering Working Together - A Unified Theory of Modulation Using Trigonometry," is scheduled for March 23, 2022, at 2 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
The lecture will take place on the Parkville Campus, and the institute offering competitive scholarships to exceptional mathematics students, the J. Malcolm Good Institute for Undergraduate Research, will be providing travel support for this event.
Dr. Curtin is renowned for his contributions to electrical engineering and signal processing, with a particular focus on modulation theory. His work may encompass the simplification of understanding and derivation of various modulation schemes and their spectral properties, using trigonometric functions to unify amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation under a common mathematical description.
This unified theory makes use of trigonometrics with no knowledge of electronics assumed, according to Dr. Curtin, and in recent years, a system called I/Q, or quadrature, modulation has allowed most kinds of modulation to be handled in essentially the same way.
The J. Malcolm Good Institute for Undergraduate Research at Park University promotes scholarly and creative activities in mathematical sciences at an undergraduate level. It also funds resources for undergraduate research and offers competitive scholarships to support exceptional mathematics students.
This lecture is an excellent opportunity to learn about the intricacies of modulation theory and its applications in electrical engineering.
