About this ebook
This book is intended for use in teaching undergraduate courses on continuous-time signals and systems in engineering (and related) disciplines. It has been used for several years for teaching purposes in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria and has been very well received by students.
This book provides a detailed introduction to continuous-time signals and systems, with a focus on both theory and applications. The mathematics underlying signals and systems is presented, including topics such as: properties of signals, properties of systems, convolution, Fourier series, the Fourier transform, frequency spectra, and the bilateral and unilateral Laplace transforms. Applications of the theory are also explored, including: filtering, equalization, amplitude modulation, sampling, feedback control systems, circuit analysis, and Laplace-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Other supplemental material is also included, such as: a detailed introduction to MATLAB, a review of complex analysis, and an exploration of time-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Throughout the book, many worked-through examples are provided. Problem sets are also provided for each major topic covered.

I used this book for a whole term and I noticed that it is written in excellent tone that makes it easier to understand. I have used other books for signals and systems, but this one is far way better than anyone I tried before. The concepts are clear, it has a considerable amount of examples e questions related to test yourself. It also includes a Matlab section which is a great content good for beginners like me. I totally recommend it, it is a great tool and more, it is free!

Definitely ranks among the best textbooks I've used. Clear, full of helpful examples and being free is a huge huge benifit. I wish more textbooks were done this way.

Had this prof for a signals course, and this is the text he gave to us. It is worth its weight in diamond (of course that meant more when it was an actual spiral bound book) and is very informative and straight to the point. Lots of pictures to help illustrate all topics.
