Waves are whaves, no matter where

Electrical engineering students, enrolled in Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments, usually show a preference for options in systems and data processing, and are less than enthusiastic about courses in wave dynamics. To tickle a prospective signal processor’s curiosity, wave-oriented instructors use their ingenuity by demonstrating on practical examples bow knowledge of the information-conveying wave dynamics between source and receiver can facilitate the processing of the input-output data at the “black box” terminals. If he/she takes the bait, the rhymes that follow encapsulate what lies ahead.
