Getting mixed signals in your signals and systems
course?

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 course,
walking you step-by-step through some of the more complex theories
and mathematical formulas in a way that is easy to understand.

From Laplace Transforms to Fourier Analyses, Signals &
Systems For Dummies explains in plain English the difficult
concepts that can trip you up. Perfect as a study aid or to
complement your classroom texts, this friendly, hands-on guide
makes it easy to figure out the fundamentals of signal
and system analysis.

* Serves as a useful tool for electrical and computer engineering
students looking to grasp signal and system analysis

* Provides helpful explanations of complex concepts and
techniques related to signals and systems

* Includes worked-through examples of real-world applications
using Python, an open-source software tool, as well as a custom
function module written for the book

* Brings you up-to-speed on the concepts and formulas you need to
know

Signals & Systems For Dummies is your ticket to
scoring high in your introductory signals and systems
course.
