2.0 out of 5 stars I would not recommend this book., June 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Signal and Linear System Analysis (Paperback)
I am a practicing engineer (in analog design), with an MSEE. Having taken numerous courses in linear analysis, circuit theory, and DSP in my college and graduate school study, I tried to use this textbook in helping my understanding in Matlab modeling of signals and systems.

I found the matlab examples in this book terrible. The code were poorly organized. (I personally write in C and Perl.) I also agree with one of the reviewers: There are a lot of typos in the textbook.

I would not recommend Amazon readers buying this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars poorly organized, poorly edited, January 7, 2000
By 
Ayres Fan (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signal and Linear System Analysis (Paperback)
The text certainly has very comprehensive coverage of signal analysis for an introductory course, it certainly lacks the depth needed for an advanced course. And unfortunately the writing is so poor and the typos so numerous that the book cannot help but confuse and discourage those first learning a pretty complex field such as signal analysis. There were several mistakes in the Fourier and Laplace transform tables in the rear of the book which is simply abominable. The emphasis on computer examples and solutions is a nice feature and is implemented better than most other comparable texts. But I don't think that it's enough to redeem the numerous other flaws of this text. If I was to recommend an introductory text, a good one would be DSP First by McClellan which has lots of good computer examples and some nice exercises with real signals such as images and voice. A nice intermediate text is Digital Signal Processing by Proakis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference, October 17, 2006
By 
Kevin Borries (Ellicott City, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Signal and Linear System Analysis (Paperback)
I used this book for an undergrad text and found it very wordy and hard to understand, although some of the examples are good. Now in graduate school, I find this book to be a great reference because of the depth of the mathematical principles presented. A lot of popular undergrad texts seem to gloss over the more complicated mathematics, but this book goes into the full details.
