Book of computer-based exercises using MATLAB fills a need in the Signals and Systems market for a comprehensive set of computer exercises for use in an undergraduate course on signals and systems. Various levels of difficult cover the fundamentals. In addition to being a companion to Signals and Systems by Oppenheim & Willsky with Nawab, the book stands alone and is suitable for use in most introductory courses in signals and systems.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
A comprehensive set of computer exercises of varying levels of difficulty covering the fundamentals of signals and systems. The exercises require the reader to compare answers they compute in MATLAB® with results and predictions made based on their understanding of material. The book is compatible with any introductory course or text on signals and systems.
From the Back Cover
FEATURES:
Real-World applications and actual data actively engage the reader with concrete problems that reinforce intuition and critical thinking: Speech processing. Financial time series analysis. Stabilization of mechanical systems with feedback. Communication systems (AM, FM, FDMA, TDMA, SSB, Asynchronous demodulation). Electrical circuits. FIR and IIR Filter design (frequency sampling, least squares, Butterworth, Parks-McCellan). Automobile suspension. Image Processing. Telephony.
A large number of problems (about 750) offer flexibility for the instructor, allowing the book to be used every semester without re-using problems. Problems are divided into Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, ensuring mastery of the fundamental tools before exposure to applications and advanced concepts. Ten (10) Tutorial sections provide worked examples to expose students to the fundamental conceptual tools and MATLAB functions used in that chapter. Covers both continuous and discrete-time signals and systems. Contains a comprehensive index of topics covered. Exercises can be completed with the student edition of MATLAB 4.0.

1.0 out of 5 stars
A complete waste of money and paper,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Computer Explorations in Signals and Systems Using MATLAB (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This tutorial fails on every level possible. It does not teach Matlab in the context of solving signals and systems problems. It does not teach the theory behind signals and systems. If it hits a topic that requires anything greater than the most elementary explanation it merely refers you to the Matlab help files. I would expect that a book labeled "Computer Explorations in Signals & Systems in Matlab" to do just that - explore problems in signals and systems using Matlab by showing examples starting with the simple and moving up to the more complex that will involve looping and calling of subprograms. The exercises provided - unsolved of course - could have been good ones. The main problem with the exercises is that as you are doing them you have no idea if you are on the right track. You feel as though you are being led through a maze and only at the end of the exercise (which can consist of 10 or more subparts) do you finally get a feel for whether you have done anything correctly. This could have been a good book if the author would have only provided some examples of substance that would provide the student with the skills necessary for solving these exercises. To you professors out there - PLEASE stop wasting your students' hard-earned money and stop assigning this book as a required text. I am sure you can come up with good Matlab problems on your own and the book adds nothing to your students' educational experience. As an alternative might I recommend "Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB" by Ingle and Proakis. It doesn't have much theory either, but it does have detailed examples on how to do DSP in Matlab. It's $20 more expensive than this book, but at least you are not throwing money away.

Absolutely worthless,
By Kevin (sunnyvale) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Explorations in Signals and Systems Using MATLAB (Textbook Binding)
The book is anything but teaching how to use matlab. Instead, the book is simply a collection of signals and systems problem set. And answers to questions are NOT given in the book. Nor is there any solved examples. Good job!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A very helpful guide to signals and systems in MATLAB,
This review is from: Computer Explorations in Signals and Systems Using MATLAB (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I used this book in a course that had for its textbook Signals and Systems by Oppenheim and Willsky. While I wouldn't recommend trying the problems without a good understanding of the underlying concepts, the MATLAB commands themselves are very well explained, and the instructions very straightforward.
