The Blackboard Sessions: Session 7 - Al's Favorite DSP Books

Welcome back to The Blackboard Sessions! This week, we sat down with Al to chat a little bit about his journey to being a DSP specialist, and some of his favorite DSP books that he has collected over the years. These books are available on either Amazon or another book distributor, so be sure to grab one if you see one you are interested in! The list of all of the books we discussed is available below.

Yes, books have a "search engine". The index ☺

There's also Stephen Smith's "The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing", quite minimal in its use of mathematics until the last four chapters, but it has some very nice intuitive and easy to follow explanations of convolution, the discrete Fourier transform, FIR/IIR filters, plus many chapters devoted to uses of DSP; e.g., neural networks, image processing, etc. An easy read, but it will leave you wanting more, so you'll need to move up to Lyons' book when you're done. I think ONLY AFTER one has fully mastered Lyons should one attempt Oppenheim and Schafer's texts (I have their 1975 work "Digital Signal Processing", a classic in/of itself; very concise, but requires a strong familiarity with advanced calculus and complex variable theory) to put you at the expert level of DSP.
