报告题目：Renaissance of Phase

报告摘要：The phase or argument of a complex number is an important conceptknown to most of the university students in STEM. What are the phases of a matrix?What are the phases of a MIMO LTI system? What are the phases of a nonlinear system? These are the questions to be answered in the newly developed phase theory, which will also answer the question why the phases are important in system analysis and data analytics. This talk will give a glimpse of the phase theory.
