Customer Reviews

outstanding technical monograph

I term this a "monograph" because it reads as a series of investigations into specific applications of signal processing (heavily oriented toward spectrum and moment analysis) within numerous areas: biomedical, oceanographic, and so forth. Despite the author's claims, the degree of mathematical sophistication exhibited in the text is refreshing. There is much to be found here, extremely concisely summarized. As such, the text can readily serve as a refresher course that brings the mathematically astute professional up to date with material he may not have accessed for years. Come to think of it, given today's students--who grew up in a world where praise is automatic rather than earned, where one lacks the attention span to spend more than ten seconds without one's headphones, etc.--I don't believe anyone under thirty can make use of this text. It requires an electrical engineer actually to have earned his credentials.

Professor Gerardo

Is the best book for Engineers in electronics

Brief but complete, With proofs but parsimonious ones

If you have taken a typical EE signals and systems course, you might well enjoy this book as a refresher or reference (most of part I). Esp., the brevity but higher rigor of proofs is appreciated. A lot of part I and all of part II contain advanced sigs. & sys. material, and part III is a admittedly brief presentation of random processes, and estimation, etc. The strength of the book as a learning device is parts I-II. As a ref. the entire book is worthwhile.
