Summary: updated edition
Review: This book gives you all the neccessary tools to understand the fundamental principles that drive DSP. One example would be the chapter on the Laplace Transform. He takes a topic that most other DSP books give a cursory glance, treats it with great care, trying to let you grasp the fundamentals of Laplace transform so that you would'nt have trouble in understanding the significance of poles and zeros.

And Steve gives you many ways to look at a DSP topic :

- Through carefully selected figures that mesh well with the topic - Through less maths -Third and the most important, simple to understand programs written in Basic to enable you to visualize the algorithm though programs.

His style is steeped with practical wisdom and with painstaking attention to details. It is no wonder that this would be one of the most important books for the beginner in DSP that would equally rank with that of Richard Lyons.

Where ever the Steve uses maths, you almost always expect him to explain its physical interpretation and its practical significance.

I loved his convolution Machine analogy. I hope you will find many more gems in this wonderful book on DSP.

Summary: Simply the best book on DSP out there
Review: This is a good book, but it lacks the mathematical development necessary to really understand DSP. Richard Lyons' book "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" is better in this regard. Heck, just buy both.

Summary: Clear, detailed, & easy reading. Good application info too.
Review: This is a great book. You wouldn't expect to be able to read a DSP text from cover to cover like a novel, but this one makes it enjoyable. The information is presented with basic math, allowing the reader to concentrate on the concepts and the mechanics at a manageable level (no painful derivation type discussions). I highly recommend this text to those that want to get a working knowledge of DSP without having to have a pencil, paper, calculator, etc. to follow through the text.

Review: You will not be dissapointed in this book.

This is the book that your professor should have chosen for your first DSP course but probably didn't because he's used to the standard, awful, gut-wrenching texts that predominate in this field.

For engineering students struggling through the horrors of a sophomore weed-out course in signals and systems, this book can give you the "big picture" that your professor is just not interested in talking about. (For these students I also recommend "Signals and Systems Made Ridiculously Simple" by Zoher Z. Karu).

In either case, and especially for the practicing engineer, this is just about the finest reference book on DSP that I have ever come across, and I have plouged through quite a few of them. The author has a real gift for presenting this convoluted subject in a very clear and precise style. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
