Polly wanna Kalman filter, October 29, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Signal Processing and Digital Noise Reduction (Paperback)
They say there are feral parrots in L.A. The first-generation escapees all say "Polly wanna cracker." The second generation says "Pawa-wawa-caca." The third generation says "Squaaaaawk."
This is a third-generation text on signal processing. It touches on many signal processing topics, but something has been lost. Although signal processing is a field in which the applications drive the mathematics every step of the way, that essential connection to applications is very weak here. The book grinds out definition after definition, derivation after derivation, with little real-world motivation or insight. Some of the topics seem disconnected, addressed more out of a sense of duty than passion. Compounding the unpleasantness, the book is filled with typos and grammatical errors. Save your time and money for something better.
