Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A comprehensive set of computer exercises of varying levels of difficulty covering the fundamentals of signals and systems. The exercises require the reader to compare answers they compute in MATLAB® with results and predictions made based on their understanding of material. Chapter covered include Signals and Systems; Linear Time-Invariant Systems; Fourier Series Representation of Periodic Signals; The Continuous-Time Fourier Transform; The Discrete-Time Fourier Transform; Time and Frequency Analysis of Signals and Systems; Sampling; Communications Systems; The Laplace Transform; The z-Transform; Feedback Systems. For readers interested in signals and linear systems.

A must have for all students beginning in signal processing and using MATLAB.

I am a third year electrical enginering student. I have just begun using matlab quite often and I had to buy this book for one of my classes. This book has offered no help whatever-so-ever. It contains almost entirely all problems with no help on how to solve them. A terrible waste of money, look elsewhere for help with matlab.
Rated by buyers -
This really is a comprehensive but practical exploration of the capabilities of Matlab in the Signals and Systems concentration of electrical engineering. Its most encouraging features are the inclusion of solutions to the exercises, and, only slightly less important, the code to get those exercises done. Although theory is not neglected, it never becomes tedious. Astonishingly intelligible. I cannot imagine an improved version of this text.

I used this book in a course that had for its textbook Signals and Systems by Oppenheim and Willsky. While I wouldn't recommend trying the problems without a good understanding of the underlying concepts, the MATLAB commands themselves are very well explained, and the instructions very straightforward.

This tutorial fails on every level possible. It does not teach Matlab in the context of solving signals and systems problems. It does not teach the theory behind signals and systems. If it hits a topic that requires anything greater than the most elementary explanation it merely refers you to the Matlab help files. I would expect that a book labeled "Computer Explorations in Signals & Systems in Matlab" to do just that - explore problems in signals and systems using Matlab by showing examples starting with the simple and moving up to the more complex that will involve looping and calling of subprograms. The exercises provided - unsolved of course - could have been good ones. The main problem with the exercises is that as you are doing them you have no idea if you are on the right track. You feel as though you are being led through a maze and only at the end of the exercise (which can consist of 10 or more subparts) do you finally get a feel for whether you have done anything correctly. This could have been a good book if the author would have only provided some examples of substance that would provide the student with the skills necessary for solving these exercises. To you professors out there - PLEASE stop wasting your students' hard-earned money and stop assigning this book as a required text. I am sure you can come up with good Matlab problems on your own and the book adds nothing to your students' educational experience. As an alternative might I recommend "Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB" by Ingle and Proakis. It doesn't have much theory either, but it does have detailed examples on how to do DSP in Matlab. It's $20 more expensive than this book, but at least you are not throwing money away.
