Prof. Wickert has written supplemental code useful for the course.  It may be downloaded from his book support page:
  * [[http://www.eas.uccs.edu/~mwickert/ssd/|Signals and Systems for Dummies (SSD) Code, Apps and More]]
  * Updated ssd.zip file to run with Python 3 -  [[https://www.cse.yorku.ca/~hchesser/eecs3451/fall15/ssd_py3.zip|ssd_py3.zip]]
