I would say this book as a good source for revision. But I highy recommend not relying it as a text book because there are a few concepts like sampling that are not covered as well as the other concepts have been covered.

Textbook Review

                            Shaum's Outlines of Signals and Systems


 Here are some highlights of the book:


  • The book has chapters dedicated to LTI systems, Laplace Transfor of CT-LTI systems, Z Transform, Fourier Analysis and State Space Analysis. Which means this book explains material covered over Midterms 1 and 2 thoroughly.
  • All in all this book has 571 solved problems.
  • Problems are solved in a clear, easy to follow manner.
  • The book has proofs for all of the system properties which are explained slightly better than the text book (example given later).
  • Main topics are explained in a concisely.
  • The book is priced at $15 on Amazon.


Things that could be improved:


  • Not all chapters in the book coincide with the chapters in the text book, this makes it hard to look for specific problems.
  • There are not too many sampling problems in the book which I was hoping to see more of cause I had trouble with those.


I would say this book as a good source for revision. But I highy recommend not relying it as a text book because there are a few concepts like sampling that are not covered as well as the other concepts have been covered.
