Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a ladder to electronics
Review: a good book from good author

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a great book
Review: A lot of instructors use this book for reference. It is one of the best books in this subject that I have seen. however the material isn't easy and for beginner students this book will be chalenging.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Needs better explanations and examples
Review: Although widely accepted as the standard text for introductory signals & systems courses, this book is sometimes unclear and difficult to read. Chapters covering introduction to LTI sytems and convolution theory are poor and confusing. Chapters covering continuous Fourier transform and sampling are pretyy good, however. The way in which the text shifts back and forth from continuous to discrete systems is annoying and not likeley to be useful in an actual course.

Summary: Example Problems could be ten times better
Review: As a non-ECE student studying signals and systems, I find that the examples in the book are very hurried and do not allow the student to be able to translate those concepts over into the problem sets.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good, if you highly enjoy bland reading
Review: As an undergrad electrical engineering student, this book was not exactly helpful. It gives extreme detailed literature on the concepts of fundamentals, but as a student trying to learn and solve LTI and convolution, it becomes unneccesarily wordy. Let's just say with this book, it's like solving a math problem with words instead of numbers. The professors might like this book because it forces students to look at the concepts instead of looking at examples to figure out the problem, but most students might be discouraged by the lengthy and dry reading (I'm not talking about a page here or there, at least 10 pages before you get to the actual problem). Also, the book does not divide it's section thoroughly, so if one wants to figure how to do something, they'll have to scan through the entire book with little or no diagrams. You practically have to scan through the whole literature to find something similar thinking that this will answer your question just to find that it may not be the one you're looking for. Simply put, extremely time consuming to learn one little concept. For me, at least, you stand a much better chance staying awake in lecture than to try to figure it out at home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Excellent Book
Review: At MIT, Signals and Systems (6.003) is a sophomore-level class and is the third in a series of four introductory classes mandatory of all MIT EECS students. The textbook was written for the course and homework is frequently assigned from the textbook; therefore, solutions will be hard to come by.

The text is excellent and the example problems are thoroughly explained.

Summary: THE WORST ENGINEERING BOOK I'VE EVER SEEN
Review: Can we say USELESS?

The book explains NONE of the problems in the back, and you basically can't use the book to help solve advanced problems.

The worst part is, there are problems in the book WITHOUT ANSWERS, and I'm not talking about the odd #s or even #s, but I'm talking a huge chunk (where the real meat of the chapters are found in applied equations) lack solutions.

If you're looking to use this book, I suggest you compare it with your best doorstop or table prop, and see if you really need this $75+ hunk of junk.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: Classic Signals n' Systems texbook. A pleasure to read. Carefully worded book that guides you through mant important concepts and examples. I love this book. Second to none!
