From the reviews: "The novelty of this book lies in providing the student the subsequent transforms in DSP in a concise manner, in an experimental way by a large use of MATLAB and SIMULINK. ... The book is accessible to students familiar with the main facts from a Signals-and-Systems course." (Dumitru Stanomir, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1141, 2008)
