[sdiy] DSP book recommendation wanted

[Justin Owen]

Tom,

I was going to email you off-list - but since this book is apparently available for free download directly from the web site I thought some others might benefit from it.

"The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing" by Steven W. Smith

http://www.dspguide.com/

No idea of it's relevance or it's content - it's just something sitting here in the library.

Cheers,

Justin

Tom,

This is out of print now but you might be able to find a copy:

A Digital Signal Processing Primer with Applications to Digital Audio and
Computer Music
Author is Ken Steiglitz

It's pretty basic and keeps things relatively simple. With DSPs you just
can't get rid of the math and if you want something complex the math will
probably be complex.

Good luck.
Jay S
