Signals and Systems Using MATLAB, Fourth Edition features a pedagogically rich and accessible approach to what can commonly be a mathematically dry subject. Historical notes and common mistakes combined with applications in controls, communications, and signal processing help students understand and appreciate the usefulness of the techniques described in the text. This new edition features more worked examples and a variety of new end-of-chapter problems, suggestions for labs, and more explanation of MATLAB code.

Introduces both continuous and discrete systems early and then studies each separately more in-depth
Contains an extensive set of worked examples and homework assignments with applications to controls, communications, and signal processing
Begins with a review of all the background math necessary to study the subject
Includes MATLAB^? problems and applications in every chapter
