5.0 out of 5 stars Concise and to the point, December 15, 2004

By	Steven J. Marrano (Atco, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts other signals/engineering/math books to SHAME, April 12, 2006

By	P. Lyons "p" (philly) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good text for self study, February 3, 2003

By	M. Phillips (Stockton, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Signals and Systems with MATLAB Applications (Paperback)

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.
