Zan, You probably have access to IEEE explore where you can search articles using keywords. You would need to use a university computer because the IEEE web server uses the client's IP address and checks if it is within the database of subscribed members. Take a look at conferences where the proceedings tend to have no more than 4 pages. This will allow you to peruse many different topics efficiently. Your supervisor should be able to provide you with a list. Look up these authors in your library: Golub & Van Loan, H Van Trees, J Mendel, S Haykin. These books contain useful math for this topic.
I understand that it could be difficult to find out where to start. These sources should give you a good start.
