Review: timeless and extremely well-written - This is without question the best academic book I've ever read. Mr. Smith is so articulate and clear. He starts at the very beginning and approaches each new concept carefully, building on the concepts you've already read about. Usually when I'm having difficult understanding something, I find he has already answered it in the previous page. His presentation is logical, intuitive, and on occasion entertaining. It's concise and well-formed but not off-putting like the majority of text books I've read. All the information is there and in plain English. A monkey (who understands English, of course) could read this book from start to finish and be an expert in DSP. I found the pdf online but ended up buying the book just because it was so good and I wanted a copy to make notes in and cherish.
Review: An Excellent Theoretical Review of Digital Signal Processing - This is an excellent college-level introduction to digital signal processing, especially if you wish to learn more about the underlying theory and application; i.e., how signal processing actually works. Yes, there is some math, but it's not the primary focus, and the author is very upfront about this. The author's style is conversational and friendly, and he provides plenty of examples, graphs and pictures, with a focus on the actual mechanics of signal processing. This is in contrast to a number of DSP texts that emphasize the underlying mathematics over the mechanics, some to the point where one wonders how the actual mechanics of signal processing even work. This book fills in those gaps. It should probably be read before taking on a math-heavy course or used in conjunction with one. I would recommend it as a primer or tutorial before beginning a typical engineering course in DSP or to have on hand while working with the standard math-heavy text. It will really fill in the knowledge gaps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ timeless and extremely well-written

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very intuitive DSP without deep-in-the-weeds mathematics
*by J***L on October 17, 2015*

I started reading this book online by chapters because I wanted to learn about Fourier Transforms. That reading exceeded my expectations on my understanding without getting deep into the weeds of mathematics. I was reading it online so often, I decided to go for this hard copy. I find new chapters in the hard copy such as digital image processing and the Z-transform that were not in the online version. The chapters are well organized and any engineer or serious experimenter or inventor will be able to select a specific topic and understand the concepts of Digital Signal Processing without a deep mathematics background. You will need a good foundation in high school Analytic Geometry and the Pythagorean Theorem. Basic calculus would help but you only need to understand logarithms and what the Sigma summation symbol means. With that basic understanding, you will be on your way to being a DSP expert.
