Signals and Systems ― A Primer With Matlab

Designed for a three-hour semester course on signals and systems, this textbook presents continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems to electrical and computer engineering students in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than other texts. In recognition of the requirements by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) on integrating computer tools, the use of MATLAB is encouraged in a student-friendly manner. The book introduces MATLAB in Appendix B and applies it gradually throughout.
