This review is from: Digital Signal Processing (Hardcover)

Digital Signal Processing is the one subject that you really need a solid foundation in maths to proceed furthur. Beginners should go for the book by Richard Lyons ( Understanding Digital Signal Processing). Those who are interested in the maths behind DSP and yet dread Oppenheim might find this book really useful. Stanley takes you through a tour of DSP using maths, but does it so wonderfully well than Oppenheim. The two books, the one by Richard Lyons and this book should give you a head start over others in learning DSP. Use this as a ladder to take you to the books by Oppenheim and Prokias, and you won't regret taking DSP.

There are a couple of errors though - due to bad proof reading

Hopefully the publisher should realise that he has a treasure in this book and bring it back to print.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Introductory Book (but dated), July 19, 2001

As the other reviewed indicated, this book does use mathematics to support it's treatment of the topic, but is very verbose with well thought out descriptions and examples. The math is a tool, not the purpose of the book. Of course, with such a treatment there are certain esoteric topics that simply dont fit but overall this book was an outstanding supplemental text to me as an undergrad (the actual text was more math intensive so the explanations here complemented it perfectly). Too bad it's out of print. I still refer to it occasionally when I need a refresher!
