Hello all, I recently wrote up an interactive essay on basic signal processing and the Discrete Fourier Transform. Those of you that have read Lyon's excellent Understanding DSP will probably find it to be a nice companion with interactive bits and animations. http://jackschaedler.github.io/circles-sines-signals/ All feedback is welcome! Best, -jack

I didn't spend a lot of time reading the text (I'm lazy), but the interactive graphics are awesome! I think a lot of people will find those helpful in visualizing the various effects, and if nothing else they have good play value. ;) Eric Jacobsen Anchor Hill Communications http://www.anchorhill.com

You should provide a graphic for facebook links, so that if people share it, it will be more attractive to click on. It just appears as text right now. Mark

I'll have a look around and see what I can come up with.

Viewing the "Introduction" page of your web page I had to laugh at myself. Months ago I tried to write some Matlab code to animate the rotating signals of a complex-valued signal. I failed miserably, while you succeeded in your Figure 1! To echo other replies here, your "Signals" web page is simply terrific. From what I've seen so far, I say, "GREAT JOB!" In my most recent book I did my best to explain, to non-technical readers, what is a sound signal. (I was trying to answer the fun question, "If a tree falls in the woods and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?") All of my written words explaining what is a sound signal can be replaced by the wonderful animation in Figure 1 in the "Sound" section of your web page at: http://jackschaedler.github.io/circles-sines-signals/sound.html I look forward to going through more of your "Signal" web pages. Jack, if you're interested, send me a private e-mail and I'll send you the approriate errata for your copy of my "Understanding DSP" book. Regards, [-Rick Lyons-]
