Learning Signal & System: Books to Get Started

In summary, For those studying electronic engineering and looking to learn about signals and systems, I recommend checking out "Linear Systems and Signals" by B. P. Lathi. This book is written in a student-friendly manner and includes relevant examples and MATLAB code. It is also recommended to have a basic understanding of calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and physics.

Assuming you have a basic college math/physics background, you should definitely have a look at Signals and Systems by Oppenheim, Wilksy and Nawab.

I use "Signals and Systems using the Web and Matlab" by Kamen and Heck. Its quite technically written (for me anyway) but seems to cover a lot of important material.

I highly recommend "Linear Systems and Signals" by B. P. Lathi . The author really talks to you as a student and does not introduce concepts without letting you know where he is going, and he does this in the most down to Earth manner. Furthermore, he has great examples that are related to the material covered in the chapter. I also like the fact that MATLAB code is also introduced. IMHO, this book should be a keeper for anyone studying signals and systems. Lathi along with Oppenheim and you can't go wrong. Of course you should have the necessary mathematical background such as calc I-III, differential equations, and linear algebra. A year of calculus based physics would also be helpful but is not required.
