Author Description
This Text Presents A Comprehensive Treatment Of Signal Processing And Linear Systems Suitable For Undergraduate Students In Electrical Engineering, It Is Based On Lathi's Widely Used Book, Linear Systems And Signals, With Additional Applications To Communications, Controls, And Filtering As Well As New Chapters On Analog And Digital Filters And Digital Signal Processing.this Volume's Organization Is Different From The Earlier Book. Here, The Laplace Transform Follows Fourier, Rather Than The Reverse; Continuous-time And Discrete-time Systems Are Treated Sequentially, Rather Than Interwoven. Additionally, The Text Contains Enough Material In Discrete-time Systems To Be Used Not Only For A Traditional Course In Signals And Systems But Also For An Introductory Course In Digital Signal Processing. In Signal Processing And Linear Systems Lathi Emphasizes The Physical Appreciation Of Concepts Rather Than The Mere Mathematical Manipulation Of Symbols. Avoiding The Tendency To Treat Engineering As A Branch Of Applied Mathematics, He Uses Mathematics Not So Much To Prove An Axiomatic Theory As To Enhance Physical And Intuitive Understanding Of Concepts. Wherever Possible, Theoretical Results Are Supported By Carefully Chosen Examples And Analogies, Allowing Students To Intuitively Discover Meaning For Themselves-- Provided By Publisher.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the fundamental principles of signal processing and linear systems to provide undergraduate electrical engineering students with a robust conceptual framework. Authors B. P. Lathi and R. A. Green prioritize physical intuition over purely symbolic manipulation, utilizing mathematics as a tool to illuminate engineering concepts rather than as an end in itself. The volume restructures traditional pedagogical approaches by sequencing Fourier transforms before Laplace transforms and treating continuous-time and discrete-time systems in distinct, sequential blocks.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Comprehensive coverage of continuous-time and discrete-time signal processing.
- Detailed chapters on analog and digital filters.
- Applications in communications, control systems, and signal filtering.
- Pedagogical use of analogies and worked examples to support theoretical results.
Scope Limits
- The text is specifically tailored for undergraduate-level electrical engineering curricula.
- It does not focus on advanced research-level signal processing algorithms or specialized hardware implementation.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts and educators frequently cite this text for its clear, intuitive approach to complex mathematical concepts in engineering. Readers often note that the pedagogical structure makes it a highly effective resource for both introductory signals courses and foundational digital signal processing modules.
