Summary: Is there a solutions manual to the problems?
Review:
I really wish I could get a hold of a solutions manual to the problems in this book. It is overall a well written book, but sometimes is not clear.

If I could see how some of the problems are worked out, it would really help.
Anybody got any info on this, please email me. Thanks.

Summary: Good for someone who already knows the subject !
Review: I bought this book when I and almost the class (very bad teacher gave bad problems) failed the "Signals and Systems" exam , and now I'm thinking from the point of view of someone who knows nothing (actualy I had passed the exam).

The introduction is good presented with enough explanation,but from the moment it reach "Convolution" you will not understand what you have red.The text is poor in explanation but it doesn't disorient you (you will not understand something else,but you will feel empty).The graphs are poor in number and everytime poorly explained.I think the author tried to write as few pages as possible even if he have had to sacrifice the entire content.When reading,it feels as it is compressed (you will not see things twice and some new things are introduced between the lines not leting enough space to be seen).So this edition is doomed and you will have no hope to understand if you want to move quickly (there is a lot of woork).Reguarding being a reference,I think ... it is (I have liked that keywords,formulas and other keythings to be marked in a conventional manner so that I can find them quickly when I'm looking behind).Now I'm looking forward to buy "B. P. Lathi's" book "Linear Signals and Systems" which I hope will be better.

Why I bought this book ? Because the site from which I bought it,hasn't had a "REVIEW" for it.So I realize how important is for us to write reviews.It's about quality that we all want !

Summary: Good S and S book
Review: I had one semester with this book and one semester with a book by Ziemer. This one is far superior and wish I could have had the utilization of it in my first class. The examples are well thought out and I constantly use it as a reference book now that I'm in graduate school.

Summary: Not a good book.
Review: I had this book as a text for a Linear Systems course in my sophomore year. Barring the first two chapters about transformations and linear system properties the rest of the book is badly presented. Not many examples and although my school had a solutions manual it was filled with errors. Graphical convoltion, fourier series and transforms,laplace tranforms are so badly presented that it was almost impossible for me to follow. I had refer to other texts to make up for this. I generally don't like selling my texts but this one was the first to go once the class got over. Don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: HELPED ME A LOT
Review: I used this book as an extra study aid for my course. I only used this book to study one concept -- transformations of singularity functions in continuous time. I really didnt need this book for anything else. But based on what I learned in this book it helped me a lot. I didn't go into deep details of this book.

Summary: A bad book
Review: I've had a class with the author of this book and found the book to be hard to follow, vague, and almost impossible to read. Unfortunately this might be the best book on this subject.

Summary: Terrible text
Review: Signals & Systems is a very complex topic - it needs to be presented in a very clear and consise manner with plenty of examples and explanation. This text has none of those qualities. I supplemented this text with the Shaums's Outline for Signals & Systems; I still could barely follow the class. A much better text on the topic is "Signals and Systems" by Simon Haykin and Barry Van Veen. It accomplished in one edition what "Signals, Systems, and Transforms" has not accomplished in three.

Summary: this book is horrible
Review: the only one who understood this book in my class was the professor, and we could barely understand him!
This is an incredibly dry and dull book, but the worst part is that the explanations to concepts are horendous... so if you like watsing time then this book is for you, although I do not know of many other books like this so if someone finds it please post it! else use this one as a paperweight!
