Review title: Good, basic signals & systems book
Product review: This is a competent, readable introduction to analog signals and linear system response. It covers all the basics: convolution, linearity and why it matters, and the frequency domain, via the Fourier transform. After covering the basics of the Laplace transform and its inverse, Schetzen gives a very clear presentation of its use describing a system's output and conditions for stability.This book, by intent, omits all of digital signal processing. The Nyquist sampling theorem, for example, never arises. That's a perfectly reasonable choice on the author's part, but creates a few gaps in getting to techniques commonly used in computer or DSP systems. Still, this book is an effective introduction or refresher.//wiredweird
