Prof. J. K. Tugnait, Auburn University
This is a very well written book (as are all books by Lathi). Various concepts are carefully developed and explained. The author tries to be rigorous without being formal, yet maintains an easy intuitive style that is particularly useful for juniors. (There are) lots of intuitive explanations with physical insights. a must for an average junior. Examples, exercises, problems, and illustrations are done very well and are quite useful for self-study. (Historical notes) are a nice touch. Makes the material interesting and human. (Background chapter) is a nice feature. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

One thing I found very appealing about this text is its great balance of mathematical and intuitive explanation. A prime example of this is the great derivation and description of the sampling theorem. The book (is) well paced, progressing well from a subject to the next. I found all the examples quite good. I especially liked the combination and integration of graphical and mathematical convolution. I found nothing that I would consider a weak point with this text. Introductory background material is very appealing. The students will find (historical notes), both entertaining and "inspirational". --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Signal Processing and Linear Systems (Hardcover) I dread buying text books for school, usually I will buy them, pay 100 dollars, reference them 1 time for an obscure project for that semester, and be done with them. This book was completely the opposite of it. My teacher understood the significance and clarity of this book and relied on it heavily, the more I read it, the more I understood the topic. Lathi is writing about a very dry and tough to understand topic when he chose to write about continuous and discrete time systems. But this book is anything but boring and dry. He spruces up the language so that it is interesting, and readable; and his explanations about even the most complicated topics are very understandable thanks to many illustrations and examples done in the book. If you have a choice in your class to buy this book or borrow it, buy it and you will not regret it, this book will be helpful in learning, and prove to be a valuable resource after you finish with the class.
