The fast and easy way to learn signals and systems Get a working knowledge of signal processing and systems--even if you don't have formal training, unlimited time, or a genius IQ. Signals and Systems Demystified offers an effective, illuminating, and entertaining way to learn this essential electrical engineering subject. First, you'll learn methods used to calculate energy and power in signals. Next, you'll study signals in the frequency domain using Fourier analysis. Other topics covered include amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation, spectral analysis, convolution, the Laplace transform, and the z-transform. Packed with hundreds of sample equations and explained solutions, and featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will teach you the fundamentals of signals and systems in no time at all. Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Signals and Systems Demystified is your shortcut to mastering this complex subject. This hands-on, self-teaching text

Fairly good treatment of signal processing including LTIs (linear time-independent systems), Convolutions both continuous and discrete, Fourier transforms and discrete Fourier Transforms, Amplitude, Frequency, and Angular modulation. Fairly detailed (equation heavy be forwarned) and works through examples and problem answers in the back.
Update 3/12/24 It is fairly good. But having the math prerequisites is probably needed the equations come fast and hard. You should be familiar with a fourier transform and a laplace transform and their discretized counterparts. you probably should have an idea of what a convolution is. For videos to get you up to speed I recommend 1brown3blue for some of the math topics. Good overall though.

A good book for adding to your working knowledge of DSP (digital signals processing). It assumes current working knowledge through Calculus II. Would be useful if you have some way to implement and test some algorithms to complete this.
In general the 'demystified' books are the best of the tech learning series out there. Another series i really like, though i wish they'd add more current topics, is the Extreme Tech series, rad DIY, like Makezine with a lot more polish.
