Linear Systems Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is that dangerous combination of being theoretical without being rigorous. It's very deep and subtle, and it is not unusual to ponder a particular point for several weeks, as no derivation or explanation is given. Many statements are just thrown out there for the reader to figure out for himself. I have now read the book more or less from cover to cover, and that's how it has been, but I have to say, in the end it is worth it. I now truly feel that I know a lot about linear systems.
It's really not possible to read this book without having a number of other references around: linear algebra (Strang), abstract algebra (Artin), control theory (Brogan) and multivariable systems (Kaczorek) were most useful to me.
This book is excellent in that you will find results in here that you would not find anywhere else, including recent results and some developed by Kailath himself. On the other hand, frankly, the somewhat haphazard presentation style is a real impediment to understanding. In summary, this is a very good book, but you will have to work very hard to get something out of it.

Op-Amps and Linear Integrated Circuits (4th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The prose explanations are short and stilted, offering a minimun of circuit operational explanation. When the author reaches what I entrepet as writer's block, he refers the reader to an equation which is lenghty and difficult to understand.The equations often lack explanations as to how they are derived. They also lack explanations of what the new symbols in them represent. They would be much easier to understand if there was more prose explanation of how the equations were created and then how the equations were changed into simpler equations for solving. This appears to be a good reference for experienced engineers. It is not a good study text for newly learning students.

Analog Integrated Circuits Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book. I am presently one of Jacobs' students and he is the best professor i have ever had. His reading material in this book is easy to read and very interesting. Most technical books are boring and hard to understand, but not this one. His teaching style is integrated in this book with excitement and wonderful theory. This book explains the OP AMP in detail along with power supplies, layout procedures, waveform generators, filters, non-linear circuits, and many more great concepts. Even if you are not taking the course, the book is an excellent reference.

Digital Communications: Design for the Real World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a first year computing student taking an entry level networkings module. For the first month or so, I had quite a bit of problems understanding the concepts in the course. My problem was that I couldn't understand the lecturer, and the reference books that I borrowed never seemed to cater for new students like myself. I chanced upon this book, and it's only been a day since I've got it, but I feel that 90% of the concepts I couldn't understand have suddenly become clear to me.
I find that I can now understand the books I've been trying to read but with no success, with the basic knowledge I've gained from this book. I'd definitely recommend this book to any first/second year university student.

Time Frequency Analysis: Theory and Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is written clearly and well by a leading researcher in the area of time-frequency analysis. The main weakness, and the reason I've knocked off one star, is that the book deals exclusively with continuous-time representations. If you are specifically interested in discrete-time implementation of time-frequency representations, then this book may not be for you.
