Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Using the Web and MATLAB: Pearson New International Edition

For MATLAB, I really recommend Bassam Mahafza's texts instead, although his is more heavy in radar application of MATLAB than this one. However this one has well-constructed examples make this a good one to have and hold on to after class is over. I required this for a Wireless Computer Engineering major. Really like the book and will not trade it in after the class ends.

I ordered this book using one day shipping and it arrived <36 hours later... very impressive (and useful when you want to keep up with a college class without also being had by the bookstore). Packaging was okay: shrink-wrapped to a sturdy piece of cardboard and placed inside a box. Would have preferred some sort of padding, peanuts, etc., but book arrive undamaged. Print and paper quality is overall good, and size is acceptable, but the binding is iffy - especially concerning the reference pages on the inner and outer cover (constants, etc. bound in right after the title page). The book sat on a table and was only opened to read, and these inside first few pages are already 3/4 of the way out of their binding! I'm slightly miffed that a book at this price-point does that, but overall fairly satisfied.

This is a great reference book for anyone learning control systems or Signal analysis. I use this book as a reference in my grad classes

As a first time learner of Signals and Systems, this is a very poor book. Examples can be confusing, and the web portion of the book is dated. Hopefully you don't get this book asigned...

Required for college class.
