About this ebook
This book is intended for use in teaching undergraduate courses on continuous-time signals and systems in engineering (and related) disciplines. It has been used for several years for teaching purposes in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria and has been very well received by students.
This book provides a detailed introduction to continuous-time signals and systems, with a focus on both theory and applications. The mathematics underlying signals and systems is presented, including topics such as: properties of signals, properties of systems, convolution, Fourier series, the Fourier transform, frequency spectra, and the bilateral and unilateral Laplace transforms. Applications of the theory are also explored, including: filtering, equalization, amplitude modulation, sampling, feedback control systems, circuit analysis, and Laplace-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Other supplemental material is also included, such as: a detailed introduction to MATLAB, a review of complex analysis, and an exploration of time-domain techniques for solving differential equations. Throughout the book, many worked-through examples are provided. Problem sets are also provided for each major topic covered.

Overall the textbook was quite clear and was easy to follow. Only thing that bothered me sometimes was the layout of the figures, for example, I was reading through one of the examples and it said "As you can see by figure x.x" but where was figure x.x? I had to flip through a few pages to find it. Other then that small formatting issue, the textbook helped me learn effectively.

This has been one of the best text books I've used! Normally I don't read textbooks very often because I find them to dense and hard to understand, but this one I used quite a lot when studying for the class. The examples are very well done

This textbook is great! I really enjoy the fact that it is free. As students we only have so much money and buying textbooks is always a large toll from our pockets. I found this textbook useful for ELEC 260 and now ELEC 310. I recently downloaded the e-book because my ELEC 310 professor confused me with concepts that I've previously learnt in ELEC 260. I chose to download this textbook because the definitions and examples are helpful in understanding and concise. I am glad professor Adams did this for his students!
