The approach taken in Gopalan's text is to introduce students to the concepts and mathematical tools necessary to understand and appreciate the wide array of exciting fields in Electrical Engineering such as signal processing, control systems, and communications. The book is structured to introduce the basic continuous-time signal and system analysis concepts as an extension of familiar circuit analysis methods. A strong theoretical foundation for signal analysis is built, leading students to successfully discuss the various system analysis methods used in practice today. Use of MATLAB with appropriate examples has been integrated throughout the book.
