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. | I would say this book as a good source for revision.

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.
