Digital Signal Processing: Fundamentals and Applications, Third Edition, not only introduces students to the fundamental principles of DSP, it also provides a working knowledge that they take with them into their engineering careers. Many instructive, worked examples are used to illustrate the material, and the use of mathematics is minimized for an easier grasp of concepts. As such, this title is also useful as a reference for non-engineering students and practicing engineers. The book goes beyond DSP theory, showing the implementation of algorithms in hardware and software.
Additional topics covered include adaptive filtering with noise reduction and echo cancellations, speech compression, signal sampling, digital filter realizations, filter design, multimedia applications, over-sampling, etc. More advanced topics are also covered, such as adaptive filters, speech compression such as PCM, µ-law, ADPCM, and multi-rate DSP, over-sampling ADC subband coding, and wavelet transform.

Students taking an introductory DSP course at the junior, senior level in undergraduate electrical engineering programs, as well as electrical engineers and technicians who design and build hardware and software for DSP systems
The book has the right balance between theory and practical applications. The many MATLAB exercises, help students improve their understanding.
We used 2nd edition, and using 3rd edition seems fine, but would like to mention that major components didn't change so I would allow students to use (used) 2nd edition if asked?
We are using this book as a main textbook for many years
