The course will delve into the design principles of transmitter and receiver so as to establish a
reliable communication link. This course aims at enabling the participants to establish
unambiguous mathematical statements describing every step of transmitting and receiving a
signal through a communication link. It aims at exposing the details of noise, its modeling and

digital communication systems. Through use of fundamental knowledge developed in related
areas of signal processing, the course aims at presenting a unified way of analyzing and
designing a digital communication system. It will encompass fundamental aspects of estimation
and detection theory, which are crucial in designing a complete receiver (synchronization,
channel equalization, etc.).
At the end of the course, the participant will be equipped with methods of systematic
representation, analysis and design of a digital communication system which are essential in
designing communication systems with complex and futuristic requirements.
The course has been designed to be offered as an elective to final year under graduate students
mainly from Electrical Sciences background. The course syllabus assumes basic knowledge of
Signal Processing, Probability Theory and Graph Theory. The course will also be of interest to
researchers working in the areas of Machine Vision, Speech Recognition, Speaker Identification,

There has been a continual debate on which programming language/s to learn, to use. As the
latest TIOBE Programming Community Index for August 2021 indicates – C (13%), Python
(12%), C++ (7%), Java (10%), and C#(5%) together control nearly half the programming
activities worldwide. Further, C Programming Language Family (C, C++, C#, Objective C etc.)
dominate more than 25% of activities. Hence, learning C++ is important as one learns about
the entire family, about Object-Oriented Programming and gets a solid foundation to also
migrate to Java and Python as needed. C++ is the mother of most general purpose of
languages. It is multi-paradigm encompassing procedural, object-oriented, generic, and even

primary focus is on applications? This is where the recent updates of C++, namely, C++11 and Weeks
noc22_cs10 C++ 14.10.2022
several later offer excellent depths and flexibility for C++ that no language can match. These
3/preview
extensions attempt to alleviate some of the long-standing shortcomings for C++ including
porous resource management, error-prone pointer handling, expression semantics, and better
readability. The present course builds up on the knowledge of C programming and basic data
structure (array, list, stack, queue etc.) to create a strong familiarity with C++98 / C++03.
Besides the constructs, syntax and semantics of C++ (over C), we also focus on various idioms
of C++ and attempt to go to depth with every C++ feature justifying and illustrating them with
several examples and assignment problems. On the way, we illustrate various OOP concepts.
The course also covers important advances in C++11 and later released features.
