Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems, Second Edition

Book excerpt: A classic Schaum's Outline, thoroughly updated to match the latest course scope and sequence. The ideal review for the thousands of engineering students who need to know the signals and systems concepts needed in almost all electrical engineering fields and in many other scientific and engineering disciplines. About the Book This updated edition of the successful outline in signals and systems is revised to conform to the current curriculum. Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems mirrors the standard course in scope and sequence. It helps students understand basic concepts and offers problem-solving practice in topics such as transform techniques for the analysis of LTI systems, the LaPlace transform and its application to continuous-time and discrete-time LTI systems, Fourier analysis of signals and systems, and the state space or state variable concept and analysis for both discrete-time and continuous-time systems.
