Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB^(r) has as its principal objective simplification without compromise of rigor. Graphics, called by the author, "the language of scientists and engineers," physical interpretation of subtle mathematical concepts, and a gradual transition from basic to more advanced topics are meant to be among the important contributions of this book.

After illustrating the analysis of a function through a step-by-step addition of harmonics, the book deals with Fourier and Laplace...
