I'm learning about GNU Radio and software radios in general. However, I just have very rudimentary knowledge about DSP (did a really basic college course) and the mathematics related to it. I picked up DSP for Communications (related to the DSP course on Coursera), and could not understand the math properly. I want to get started with GNU Radio quickly. So I'm confused which book to start learning DSP from, as both books (in the title) are highly recommended for beginners with a weak mathematical background. Can some you experienced guys help me out in my dilemma ? I'm also doing the tutorials on digital communications from complextoreal.com. It has a bit of DSP in the tutorials, but I doubt it would be enough. Also, it would be nice if someone could a suggest a book for programming in DSP. I know 'Think DSP' uses Python to apply the DSP concepts in code. If there is a better book (preferably using Python), that would be great. Thank you ! --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.DSPRelated.com

Smiths book is better for someone who's never had a EE Signals and Systems course. It's a very nuts and bolts book. Lyons book is very good but considerably more advanced.>Also, it would be nice if someone could a suggest a book for programming >in DSP.
