Getting mixed signals about signals and systems?

The concepts covered in a typical signals and systems course are often considered by engineering students to be some of the most difficult to master. Thankfully, Signals & Systems For Dummies is your intuitive guide to this tricky material, walking you step-by-step through some of the more complex theories and mathematical formulas in a way that's easy to understand.

• Signals and systems 101 ? understand the language of signals and systems, and get an overview of the basic concepts and techniques necessary for tackling this course
• The time domain ? get a plain-English intro to differential and difference equation system models, which are used to represent electronic circuits, the audio equalizer on your MP3 music player, and more
• Between worlds ? drill down on the frequency domain and the world of system design, and bridge the gap between the continuous- and discrete-time worlds
• Know your domain ? understand the s- and z-domains ? a third domain system that engineers use to view the world ? and understand why poles and zeros rule here
• Open source tools ? solve example problems with Python using PyLab, along with a custom function module written for the book

Open the book and find:

• Continuous-time signals and systems
• How to establish a general input/output relationship
• Difference equations in the time domain
• Worked through examples of real-world signals and systems applications
• The Fourier transform for continuous-time signals
• The scoop on sampling theory
• The discrete Fourier transform and FFT algorithms
• The Laplace transform for continuous-time signals
