A Gentle Start for DSP

This wonderful book was the first one I ever came across that made sense to me, coming from an software 'n audio background rather than being a full-on EE head. In fact, the book is well worth the price for chapters 6 and 7 alone describing in amazingly clear and simple language the principles behind the Fourier transform.

good introduction to DSP

This is a good book for readers who didn't have much background in math and DSP fields. It contains lots of useful information. But for a experienced engineer or colleage students, this book is a little too easy.

A good book

For a person looking for a simple introduction to DSP, this book is a good start. Many of the theories are presented very simply. For an in-depth understanding, I would've liked to see references at the end of each chapter that would lead me to books that might deal the topic(s) in greater detail. But for a person looking for a foothold in DSP, this book is highly recommended.

A very readable, quick intro to DSP

I found this to be a very useful book, although I did not use the CD-ROM. I think the author develops the concept of the z-transform and DFT very nicely and intuitively. The sections on FIR and IIR filters seem to go by relatively quickly, however. People trained in technical fields outside of EE may find this a very helpful tool for grasping core DSP ideas.

Outstanding introduction to DSP

This is one of the best books I have found for getting you up to speed fast on how to use digital signal processing. The author provides all the necessary math background, the text is easy to read and the examples are practical. The accompanying CD is a virtual DSP laboratory that is well worth the price of the book itself. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to learn about and use DSP.
