Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB, 2nd Edition

Foreword to the First Edition in Memory of Richard W. Hamming (1915–1998)

The information age in which we are living has underlined the importance of signal processing, while the development of solid-state integrated circuits, especially in the form of general-purpose minicomputers, has made practical the many theoretical advantages of digital signal processing. It is for these reasons that a good book on digital signal processing is welcomed by a wide range of people, including engineers, scientists, computer experts, and applied mathematicians.

Although most signal processing is now done digitally, much of the data originates as continuous analog signals, and often, the result of the digital signal processing is converted back to analog ...
