9/4     I never took 120 before graduating and now want to learn the material.
        Can anyone suggest a good "teach yourself signals and systems" type
        book?
        \_ According to our dept, the one they're now using for 120 is "the best
           one out there" and, from personal experience, it sucks ass. So
           that implies that there probably is none. If you find something
           elsewhere, please post ref to motd.
        \_ oppenheim willsky 'with' young is an awesome book, both for
           learning and as a reference. 4 years after the fact, i still
           look at that book. if you're interested in a particular field
           like graphics or image processing, then you should get the signal
           processing for grpahics books. they're pretty good. if you want to
           do communications or controls or just learn the shit, OWY is
           do communications or controls or just learn the shit, OW'w/'Y is
           excellent. -ali
        \_ "A Digital Signal Processing Primer", Ken Steiglitz.  Very
           easy to read and understand.  Short book, won't delve too deeply
           into specific subjects but provides a solid foundation.  After
           reading this book you'll be able to deal with the more obscure
           texts. -blojo
