DSP mathematics made easy
|
If you've ever struggled with some of the mathematics used in DSP or with the concepts of what the various filters are actually doing, then this is the book you need.
Its a beautifully crafted book with full harvard notation and you'll be able to do exactly what it says on the cover.

High-speed DSP channel

Quite simply an amazing book.
Many books on DSP spend a lot of time teaching math, and the DSP often
gets lost in the process. This is not the case for Lyons' book, so it
is a good idea to have some intuition on the math(fourier+laplace
transforms, ect) before aproaching this book, although you could do without.
The book has no exercises, but to me this was not a
problem. Exercises can be found elsewhere.
If you are a DSP-beginner, you can read the book almost from cover to
cover(skip chapter 7, and maybe chapter 13). When you are done you
will feel like moving on to the next DSP level!
People with a casual curiosity towards DSP should read the first 5
chapters.
Non-trivial science books as readable as this are exceedingly rare!!

the best all around
|
I have many of the standard references on DSP and this book is my favourite by miles. It is quite down-to-earth, practically oriented. Not meaning there are no mathematics of course, but all formulas are developped towards easy practical implementation (having Matlab signal processing toolbox helps of course but is not necessary). And Lyons did the "Tricks" column in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine for a long time, in the same friendly practical style. Very good author, very good book. If you have only one DSP book, be it this one.

Excellent introduction for practicing engineers

Rick's book is one of the best DSP introductions out there. He is an accomplished teacher (I took a course he teaches at the University of California, Santa Cruz extension which covers the material in the book). He provides step by step examples of how techniques are applied, without getting bogged down in the mathematical theory. The book has a couple of useful appedices, one of which covers complex numbers in a most lucid way. Recommended

The Title Says It All!
|
|
The title says it all! This book's clear, friendly writing style, along with its many clear illustrations and worked-through examples, helps you really _understand_ the difficult subject of DSP. Unlike most other DSP books, it explains the fundamental subjects of DSP in an intuitive way, using a minimum of math. It's really refreshing for once to run onto a DSP book that's actually "understandable"! You can tell that the author still remembers what it's like to be a beginner. Also, this book features a lot of good practical material that you simply won't find in other DSP books. It's an instant DSP classic. (Can I give it 6 stars?!)
