Perhaps you might get a bit of what your looking for by looking at books
that use DSP in applications. Whalen's book on detection theory, or
Nielson's book on sonar signal processing. This is a very short list.

I have one titled "Introductory Digital Signal Processing with Computer
Applications", by Lynn Fuerst. Turns out the the computer applications
are wrriten in extremely low-quality C, but still, it might be
interesting for the OP, as it has a heavier emphasis on the practical
side and applications -- not sure if the book is still available (I
got it some 5 years ago or perhaps more).

Short of getting a tutor, you'll have to read something, somewhere. You
may find the on-line courses at http://www.bores.com/ useful.
http://www.dspguru.com/ has some good stuff, including a list of books
at varying levels. I especially like the one by Richard Lyons, a regular
here. The book at http://www.dspguide.com/ is simple to understand, too.

Hi Richard - what questions?
Best of Luck - Mike

I'm struggling trying to get to grips with basic signal processing
before I get back to my degree again, time/frequency domains,
convolution, correlation, filtering, transforms. I am ok with using and
manipulating equations for these, my maths is generally pretty good and
I can solve standard problems with them, however I am having great
difficulty conceptualising how it all glues together in the real world.
I'm an engineer not a mathmatician and I need that understanding to be
able to use it.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the answers to some of these
questions? I have tried to read a few books and use Matlab but it is
all too abstract, I need something more real.
Cheers
Richard
