Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A market leader in previous editions, this book continues to offer a complete survey of continuous and discrete linear systems. It utilizes a systems approach to solving practical engineering problems, rather than using the framework of traditional circuit theory. Numerous examples from circuit theory appear throughout, however, to illustrate the various systems techniques introduced. The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly updated to effectively integrate the use of computers and to accurately reflect the latest theoretical advances.

1.0 out of 5 stars These authors should stay away from teaching., October 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Signals and Systems: Continuous and Discrete (Hardcover)

These authors really need to consider different careers. It's almost impossible to comprehend their writings. The instructor of our class told us to not even try to bother reading the text. Since I had to miss some classes due to work conditions I am now forced into reading it. Wow, it's pure sh!t.

2.0 out of 5 stars Find another book., April 27, 1999

This review is from: Signals and Systems: Continuous and Discrete (Hardcover)

After taking two classes that used this text at GMU in Fairfax, VA. My suggestion is that you find another book that provides better examples and explanations of the material and not waste your time trying to understand the terse explanations and incomplete examples provided in this text.

1.0 out of 5 stars I would give it a ZERO if I could, June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Signals and Systems: Continuous and Discrete (Hardcover)

This book is one of the worst educational books I've read. There are numerous wrong answers and the formulas do not agree with the chapter summary. Poor proof reading on the author's part. This book is very mathamatical and several math tricks are required to solve the problems. This is DO NOT buy if you can help it.
