The approach taken in Gopalan's text is to introduce students to the concepts and mathematical tools necessary to understand and appreciate the wide array of exciting fields in Electrical Engineering such as signal processing, control systems, and communications. The book is structured to introduce the basic continuous-time signal and system analysis concepts as an extension of familiar circuit analysis methods. A strong theoretical foundation for signal analysis is built, leading students to successfully discuss the various system analysis methods used in practice today. Use of MATLAB with appropriate examples has been integrated throughout the book.

本书特色

　　1 .  Each chapter begins with an introduction to the chapter contents and ends with a summary of key concepts and mathematical results followed by homework problems.

　　2 .  Continuous and Discrete-Time signals and systems are treated in parallel for better understanding of the two and to motivate digital simulation and problem solving.

　　3 .  Sufficient mathematical rigor is provided relating to practical systems while minimizing discussions on less often used topics.

　　4 .  Numerous examples are provided throughout to illustrate the concepts and practical applicability.

　　5 .  End-of-chapter problems are thoughtfully designed to test and extend the understanding of concepts and to apply the concepts in practical applications.

　　6 .  MATLAB?examples are integrated throughout to assist in understanding the concepts by visualizing the results as well as to aid in solving practical problems.

　　7 .  Appendices are provided to give a quick background on complex number representations and operations, as well as commonly encountered mathematical operations.
