More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For a Signals and Systems course in Engineering departments.
Developed from Professor Kamen's best-selling text Introduction to Signals and Systems, this forward-looking text presents an accessible yet comprehensive analytical treatment of signals and systems and also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts using MATLAB. A MATLAB tutorial is provided on a disk which is available for student/instructor use, and all examples in the text are developed in terms of the Student Edition of MATLAB ®.
--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.From the Back Cover
The book contains an introductory, yet comprehensive, treatment of continuous time and discrete-time signal and systems with demos on the Web and MATLAB examples integrated throughout the text. The second edition contains modifications of the material in the first edition to improve the presentation, additional illustrative examples and homework problems, a new chapter on communication systems, and the use of numerous on-line demos that illustrate the concepts and techniques presented in the book. The demos are available at the Web site (http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~bonnie/book) that accompanies this text. The chapter on communications covers both analog and digital modulation with an emphasis on the digital case, including phase-shift keying, frequency-shift keying, quadrature amplitude modulation, and on-off keying.

Very Dissapointed, 20 April 2005
By Lifelong Student - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Signals and Systems: Using the Web and MATLAB (Hardcover)
The information in this book is difficult enough to learn, and the way it is presented here compounds the problem.
The Information and examples are not explained thoroughly or completely (to compressed) can be very over whelming.
There are many practice problems at the end of each chapter (great) there is one problem ...there are no ANSWERS???. I was not able to find a solutions manual. I even emailed the author (I got no reply). Very difficult to know if your solving the Practice Problems correctly if you don't have any solved practice prolems let alone any answers. I did manage to pick up some of what the author was trying to say, but i had to read each chapter numerous times. The website referred to in the book has a few solved example problems for each chapter, but many are hand written and could not be interpreted. In all honesty I was using this book in conjunction with a self study coarse and did not have the benefit of an instructor.I would not reccomend using this book alone,when trying to grasp this subject.

Plain Language a Plus -- But Doesn't Go Enough Into Detail, 5 Dec 2007
By Heather M. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Using the Web and Matlab (Hardcover)
The fact that this book is written in plain language is great, it makes a lot of concepts a lot easier to digest. However, the material here is extremely patchy. As a student learning this for the first time, I've found that this textbook isn't exactly the most effective due to the holes between content areas. The author seems to go into detail about things that seem unimportant, while he/she skims over the real meat of the subject. And what's worse is the fact that there are no worked out examples. If there were more worked examples, concepts might click amongst the patchy conceptual explanations. There is MATLAB scattered throughout the text, which I've found useful at times, but it too is not explained well-enough. All in all, this is not a text that I recommend to those in their introductory signal processing courses, rather, I recommend this text to those who have already taken introductory signal processing classes and are in need of a review text. As a review for those already in the know, this text seems great.

Cryptic, 22 Aug 2006
By D. Fuller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Signals and Systems: Using the Web and MATLAB (Hardcover)
This book would be excellent for someone who is already familiar with signals but is not good for the student who is learning the topic. Very few examples and no student solutions manual makes it a hard sell. For those after theory only.
