The author's discussion of the material is excellent. He presents good examples and tries to integrate proofs or theorems into what he has told you.

Unlike many engineering books, he actually puts solutions in the back of the text.

This is a refreshing change from publishers who tend to keep this information "restricted".

When you are working with a higher level subject such as Signals and Systems, you want to build practice with problems.

Another point I especially enjoyed was the clear discusion of state space analysis in both the laplace and the Z domains.

Awesome textbook.
wish I found it early enough to not by the course's texbook.
Unlike many others that I have been forced into purchasing for classes, this books explains everything down to a T, along with graphical representations on every page!
Another great thing I really appreciate is the fact that the text/math is spread out nicley, making it easy to highlight and take you own notes (which I do all the time, and find it very helpful when reviewing). The fashion in which the material is presented is free of leaps and bounds which I have found is not the case at all for many other signals books. I was quite happy to find that in this case I paid less for a better book. I have since ordered the electronic devices book as well from the same author/publishing-company. Thanks Steve!

I found this text to be very interesting. It contains material that I have not seen in a single book. All theorems and definitions are well and simply expressed and illustrated with practical examples. I've found few but insignificant references to equations and figures, and I've informed the author. It is an ideal text to learn both the material and MATLAB. Appendix A
is a very good introduction to MATLAB and it helped me very much.

Now in an expanded and updated second edition, Signals And Systems With MATLAB Applications by electrical engineer and educator Steven T. Karris is an invaluable textbook and resource especially written and organized for students of electrical engineering. An easy-to-learn-from text, with practical MATLAB applications to use and drive the theory home, Signals And Systems authoritatively covers a wide selection of mathematical and engineering topics in seasoned and technical detail, including delta functions, the laplace transformation, fourier series, analog and digital filters, and much more. Signals And Systems is a confidently recommended advanced instructional resource especially for dedicated students or veteran electrical engineers looking to brush up their basic skills.

Overall it is a good book. For the program that I am in at the moment, it appears to be geared towards the second portion of the Signal and Systems program. Appears to have a lot of examples in Matlab for the sections covered.

I like this author very much. He clearly explains the theory and math behind a concept. His Matlab code then is used for better understanding. I have sent him an e-mail requesting the m-files for the book. I also bought circuit analysis II by the same author.

Easy to read. Good balance of just enough theory and an ample amount of examples and problems to test one's knowledge. Can be used as either a main textbook or as a supplement for self-study. Perfect for those looking to use MATLAB as an integrated study tool.
