“Most introductory signal processing textbooks focus on classical transforms, and study how these can be used. Instead, Foundations of Signal Processing encourages readers to think of signals first. It develops a ‘signal-centric’ view, one that focuses on signals, their representation and approximation, through the introduction of signal spaces. Unlike most entry-level signal processing texts, this general view, which can be applied to many different signal classes, is introduced right at the beginning. From this, starting from basic concepts, and placing an emphasis on intuition, this book develops mathematical tools that give the readers gets a fresh perspective on classical results, while providing them with the tools to understand many state of the art signal representation techniques.” (from Amazon)

This comprehensive and engaging textbook introduces the basic principles and techniques of signal processing, from the fundamental ideas of signals and systems theory to real-world applications. Students are introduced to the powerful foundations of modern signal processing, including the basic geometry of Hilbert space, the mathematics of Fourier transforms, and essentials of sampling, interpolation, approximation and compression The authors discuss real-world issues and hurdles to using these tools, and ways of adapting them to overcome problems of finiteness and localization, the limitations of uncertainty, and computational costs. It includes over 160 homework problems and over 220 worked examples, specifically designed to test and expand students' understanding of the fundamentals of signal processing, and is accompanied by extensive online materials designed to aid learning, including Mathematica® resources and interactive demonstrations.
