Signals Systems Pie and Computer Explorations in Signals

Book excerpt: This is a valuepack for undergraduate-level courses in Signals and Systems. Signals and Systems: International Edition, 2/E is a comprehensive exploration of signals and systems develops continuous-time and discrete-time concepts/methods in parallel -- highlighting the similarities and differences -- and features introductory treatments of the applications of these basic methods in such areas as filtering, communication, sampling, discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals, and feedback. Relatively self-contained, the text assumes no prior experience with system analysis, convolution, Fourier analysis, or Laplace and z-transforms. This is packed with Computer Explorations in Signals and Systems Using MATLAB, 2/E which contains a comprehensive set of computer exercises of varying levels of difficulty covering the fundamentals of signals and systems. The exercises require the reader to compare answers they compute in MATLAB(r) with results and predictions made based on their understanding of the material. The book is compatible with any introductory course or text on signals and systems.
