  29. Objectives: 1. Develop a thorough understanding of the mathematics of variables, equations, graphs, sinusoidal functions, logarithms and exponents as applies to hearing science and acoustics. 2. Develop a thorough understanding of the nature of complex sounds, specifically how complex sounds can be represented as sums of pure tones and a basic, definitional understanding of Fourier analysis and synthesis. 3. Develop a thorough understanding of digital signal processing and the concepts important for digital to analog and analog to digital conversion of complex sounds. 4. Develop an understanding of resonance, impedance, and filtering as relates to the auditory system and acoustics. 5. Develop skills for critical evaluation of statistical methods common to CSD as described in scientific articles.
