From the Back Cover
Reaching the conceptual peaks of signals and systems can be a challenge. But well-known authors Simon Haykin and Barry Van Veen help you clearly see connections among concepts and recognize the relevance of signals and systems to the broader field of electrical engineering.
Features
* New problems: The new edition includes opportunities for demonstration and practice throughout.
* New themed examples: Six new themed examples demonstrate the range of problems to which signal and system concepts can be applied, including RC circuits, MEMS accelerometer, radar range measurement, moving average system, multipath communication channel, and first order recursive discrete time computation. The authors revisit these themed examples using different mathematical tools to show how each tool give unique insight into the problem at hand in the context of a real world problem.
* New coverage throughout: Contains new sections on MEMS and derivatives of the unit-impulse function, the Costas receiver for demodulation of double sideband-suppressed carrier-modulated signals, and the fundamental notion of feedback and 'why feedback', as well as more detailed treatment of wavelets and the stability of nonlinear feedback systems. A new section on noise has also been added to Chapter 1. Chapter 4 now focuses exclusively on building bridges between the four basic Fourier representation for applications in which there is a missing of signal classes.
* Many opportunities for practice: All examples are based on real-world problems and emphasize the correct mathematical steps needed for applying the theory. Problems vary from drill-based to complex, so you'll have plenty of room to practice.
* Integrated, flexible coverage of MATLAB: MATLAB techniques and uses, as well as MATLAB practice problems, and provided at the end of each chapter. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Terrible text book,
By "dr_dru" (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signals and Systems, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
I'm a UW computer engr student. We use this book here because Van Veen is the author (he is a professor here). The book is aweful. It's just plain bad. The material lacks clarity, the examples are either too easy, too hard, or do not provide any instruction at all. The math often has missing steps leaving the reader clueless as to how one arrives at the final result. The matlab code is worthless -- it doesn't teach anything nor explain anything. I recommend Oppenheim or Schaum's guide. I beg you not to waste your time or money on this ...text.

2.0 out of 5 stars
it was a good intent, but the result is very bad...,
By Hilton (Belo Horizonte, MG Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signals and Systems (Hardcover)
I bought this book to review the theory of signal processing, which I had studied 4 years ago. What caught my attention was that the author threats the 4 different Fourier representations at the same time, instead of separated, what seemed to be a great approach. But in the course of the reading I found that the lack of organization throwed away what could be a great idea. Sometimes I was so lost in the theory development that I prefer to give up and try another book. In the end I found myself studying (again) the Oppenheim's Signals & Systems, that treats the Fourier representations separately, but in a much more organized manner. So, as an advice, try another one.

Worst Textbook in the history of textbooks,
This review is from: Signals and Systems, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
I had professor Van Veen for my signals and systems professor in college. While he wasn't a bad professor, his textbook is terrible. Copying what was said in other reviews, the examples are very hard to follow, often skipping steps. The text is wordy and it seems like the author goes out of his way not to make a conclusion that would help clear up of his confusion. I'd like to add that this is the only other review I've ever written for a book and I only did it after several of my coworkers who had the same book expressed the same concerns.
