This new edition delivers an accessible yet comprehensive analytical introduction to continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. It also incorporates a strong emphasis on solving problems and exploring concepts, using demos, downloaded data, and MATLAB?to demonstrate solutions for a wide range of problems in engineering and other fields such as financial data analysis. Its flexible structure adapts easily for courses taught by semester or by quarter. 本書特色 1 . Extensive use of online demos 2 .
