B. P. Lathi's trademark strengths as a writer have made this introductory volume a well-established leader in the field of signals and linear systems. His rigorous but clear explanations, engaging writing style, vivid examples, and sensitivity to student needs enliven the subject in a comfortable non-threatening way. Now published by Oxford University Press, Linear Systems and Signals provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject and encourages students to discover information and principles on their own. Lathi uses mathematics to enhance physical and intuitive understanding, instead of merely employing it to prove axiomatic theory. The book is conveniently organized into five parts that allow flexibility in teaching discrete-time and continuous-time systems. An accompanying solutions manual is available on CD-ROM.
