Reader Reviews
I used this book to learn nearly all the topics covered in a hurry, in order to take the prelim exam at Berkeley. While it was a humbling experience, it made me truly learn to appreciate and love this book, and its great presentation and organization. It starts off with a very good introduction to linear algebra and probability theory for engineers, which should give you a taste of the effective way that this book is laid out. The format is excellent, and the important points clearly highlighted. This is a real joy to read! The magic doesn't wear off into the later chapters, which include topics in signal modeling, least-squares methods, MMSE estimation, Levinson algorithm, spectral estimation, and adaptive filters. I find this book to be a great source for both learning and reference, and as a bonus it includes Matlab codes for all the algorithms mentioned here. One complain is that there are certain topics that could be covered more effectively. For example, the relationship between the different signal models and filtering is not mentioned, and this could help understand the motivation of the different signal models in the first place. Anyway, once you get past Oppenheim/Schafer, Proakis/Manolakis and Lyons' material this can be a great way to start your journey into the more advanced topics in signal processing.
