Cengage Learning Digital Signal Processing Using MATLAB®, International Edition

* PhysicalThe book is around 800 pages long, with mix of grey scale pictures and graphs, no colour plates, excepting the covers. Mine is a softback and cost me around £30.* Prerequisites (optional)These optional books covered the technical areas of signal processing in a friendly way, but lacked the added depth and spread, level of knowledge in the Schilling book. This being due to these optional books being written before this the Schilling book, but they are still helpful to digest Digital Signal Processing topics. Some of these books i have not bought through Amazon, and with Amazon rules ,mean i can't write a review of them, bar for the titles of 'Digital Signal Processing using Matlab' by Ingle and Proakis, and 'Contemporary Linear Systems' by Strum and Kirk. And as required the two strouds. It's helpful to have and algebraic background too.* Target audience, A-Level / H.N.D, undergraduate, postgraduate?This book could be tackled with H.N.D math which covers Laplace only. But to grasp the denser stuff requires 2nd year degree Electrical and Electronic studies with additional mathematical background studies. This book shows a grand showing of the theory of digital Signal Processing. When i studied this topic formally, the contents in my course and this books were the same. This is the 2017 printing of a 2015 edition of the book. So it's up - to -date for a formal book. The optional books made quick headway though the topics, but you could do the same with this book as it covers the same stuff. The studies of filters has been a boon, grasping these areas so clearly that my previous confusion has been much reduced!* SummaryYou require some Laplace, and some Fourier analysis background to make headway here. This book is beautiful to read and really clearly shows what to grasp the theoretical side of this engineering science. I really learned new theoretical stuff despite doing a course in it for my previous studies.Don't go for the first book price, as it can be heavy. Search the available prices and see which is the best for you. It's a really helpful exploration that's beautifully knitted together and helpfully explains the topics you need to grasp in a glorious way!
