An Introduction to Signals & Systems

The development of the core material is academically sound, concise, and easy to understand. New derivations not found in other texts and a modernized placement of topics helps students to learn faster and appreciate the unity of the overall theory. DT and CT topics are described in parallel chapters. The parallel development brings to light the similarities and the differences between DT and CT. Either CT or DT can be covered first, or they can be covered in parallel, chapter by chapter, or section by section. To accommodate students with different educational backgrounds, the technical depth starts at an elementary level in the first few chapters and increases gradually.
