This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems (Paperback)

First off, the first author was a former instructor at my university. I have never taken on of his courses, so this review has no bearing on the individual.

On the other hand, I'm taking a Linear Systems course and the required textbook is Signals and Systems by Oppenheim, one of the most expensive coffee table props to exist on this side of Silicon Valley.

Schaum's was only (price) and it seemed to cover all of the concepts found in a standard Linear Systems course. The only major difference was that instead of useless graphs, more useless techno-babble (to satisfy the needs of some Ph.D's that want to confuse the students so they feel strong and powerful - in other words maintain their authority), and sparse problems and even less frequent solutions, the text contains DETAILED solutions for its problems, along with useful equations and tables that HELP rather than confuse the student.

If you're taking a Linear Systems course, this book is MANDATORY. If instructors are reading this review, I highly recommend you grab a copy and see if you can use it as a supplement.

As a student, I can tell you that if you made other students purchase this text as a requirement, they would all eventually pick up a copy. It's THAT helpful.
I paid $100 for our required textbook and it's money down the drain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most useful even as a text book., October 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems (Paperback)

Most Schaum's Outlines are usually supplements to a standard text book with lots of solved problems. This book actually can serve as a text book. It's organization is a pleasure. The subject is presented in a simple, well thought out matter, covers both the analog and digital areas. I highly recommend it. More advanced textbooks will be easier to read after you finish this book. The price makes it definitely a good bargain!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory book for anyone working with signals and transform, January 9, 2001

By 

Suhail Hasan (Redmond, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems (Paperback)

This is truly an excellent book to quickly recap the essentials of signals and their manipulations. By working along with the exercises, I was quickly able to come back to speed on such important issues such as convulutions, Fourier Transforms, and LTI systems.
