E. A. Lee and P. Varaiya, Structure
and Interpretation of Signals and Systems Addison Wesley, 2003
Prepublication version.
This book provides an accessible introduction to signals and systems for
electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science students,
and is based on several years of successful classroom use at the University
of California, Berkeley. The material starts with an early introduction
to applications, well before students have built up enough theory to fully
analyze the applications. This motivates students to learn the theory
and allows students to master signals and systems at the sophomore level.
The material motivates signals and systems through sound and images, as
opposed to circuits, and as such calculus is the only prerequisite.
This book has an associated Lab Manual that includes well-integrated MATLAB and Simulink labs.
