Signals and Systems Using MATLAB, Third Edition, features a pedagogically rich and accessible approach to what can commonly be a mathematically dry subject. Historical notes and common mistakes combined with applications in controls, communications and signal processing help students understand and appreciate the usefulness of the techniques described in the text. This new edition features more end-of-chapter problems, new content on two-dimensional signal processing, and discussions on the state-of-the-art in signal processing.
Key Features
- Introduces both continuous and discrete systems early, then studies each (separately) in-depth
- Contains an extensive set of worked examples and homework assignments, with applications for controls, communications, and signal processing
- Begins with a review on all the background math necessary to study the subject

This book gives a comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of signals and systems. I like the use of boxes to show key points and concepts. I also like the Matlab material which enables the students to apply the theory to synthetic as well as real signals (e.g. a recording of their own voice!). This really brings the sometimes abstract concepts to life and greatly enhances the students understanding.
The book has the introductory level we require for the course. It includes multiple examples both analytical and with the use of MATLAB. A fair amount of exercises at the end of each chapter allow the student to gain insight into the applications of the mathematical concepts. It is the adequate book to wake the creativity in our students.
