Hello ldn,
I just saw your original post today. I concur
with Randy's and Tim's comments here. I apologize
if my explanation of how to go from Eq. (2-3) to
Eq. (2-5) was a bit difficult to understand. (I'll try
to do better next time.)
ldn, I've never seen my book's material in the form
as shown in http://i.imgur.com/MSGVtEY.jpg before
(with the equation numbers above the equations).
I'm curious, ...from where did you obtain that image?
If you send me a private e-mail I'll send you the
errata to the 3rd edition of my book.
[-Rick Lyons-]

Thank you guys, that explanation helped.
It makes more sense to me when I read that sentence as "In those cases
where m is an integer multiple of n, we can make the following leap...".

I'm pretty sure that was the goal, too.
I find it kind of a rough ride getting from 2-3 to 2-5 myself, and I knew
where he was trying to go.
It may help to do two things:
First, replace the first few words of the sentence following (2-3) with
"If we further restrict m to be ...".
Second, consider the middle expression in (2-3):
sin(2 pi f_0 n t_s + 2 pi m)
Now think how you'd go about showing, by induction, that (2-3) leads to
(2-5). That is what Rick is doing here, however (as we always realize
AFTER the book is in print), a few more words between (2-3) and (2-4) may
have been helpful.

Doh! He DOES state that. Never mind, this PS should never have been
post-scripted!

PS: It might have been a little clarer to state after equation 2-3
something like this: "If we let m = k * n, where k is any integer, then
....", etc.

ldn,
It is legal in the sense that, if an equation is true for any integer m,
then it is also true for any subset of integers m.
Sure, it is less general, but that's OK. Rick's goal (I believe) is to
get to equation 2-5 and show in an analytical way how you get images at
k times the sample rate fs.

Hi Everyone. I am a self taught programmer who also designs hardware, and
I am trying to get up to speed on DSP with Lyon's "Understanding DSP".
I've posted a snapshot from the book here: http://i.imgur.com/MSGVtEY.jpg
I am following everything up through equation 2-3. "m" is any integer, so
adding 2PIm gives the same sin value.
What I don't get is how he then restricts the meaning of "m" to be an
integer multiple of "n".
This all ends up with the formula in 2-5, which makes perfect sense.
I just don't understand how it is legal to change the meaning of a variable
when rearranging an equation. Could someone please help me make the mental
leap from equation 2-3 to equation 2-4?
Thank you.
