A Gentle Start for DSP
Review written by: D. Hodgson From Cupertino, CA United States
This wonderful book was the first one I ever came across that made sense to me, coming from an software 'n audio background rather than being a full-on EE head. In fact, the book is well worth the price for chapters 6 and 7 alone describing in amazingly clear and simple language the principles behind the Fourier transform.

There is a simple, yet great thinking behind its material
Review written by: Maged Elemary From Cairo, Egypt.
The book is very good, you can share the author's thinking and it is very interesting for beginners or engineers who do not like to go through complicated mathematical proofs.
The CD ROM calculator is nice to use, but it needs more improvement especially in scale adjustments. The calculator can be better improved by developing some interfaces for copy and paste utilities including presenting numbers on the graphs. I almost finished most of it the same day I purchased, but still cannot be used alone to understand DSP. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience to grasp interesting interpretation of the authors' thinking, which reflects practicality dimension to the subject. Well done

good introduction to DSP
This is a good book for readers who didn't have much background in math and DSP fields. It contains lots of useful information. But for a experienced engineer or colleage students, this book is a little too easy.

A good book
For a person looking for a simple introduction to DSP, this book is a good start. Many of the theories are presented very simply. For an in-depth understanding, I would've liked to see references at the end of each chapter that would lead me to books that might deal the topic(s) in greater detail. But for a person looking for a foothold in DSP, this book is highly recommended.

Easy Reader

Not enough math to teach a college course from it, but it's still packed with useful information. A good gap filler between how the real world works and how it's done theoretically. If it had C code segments, I'd give it that last star.
