De la contraportada

This new book by Ken Steigliz offers an informal and easy-to-understand introduction to digital signal processing, emphasizing digital audio and applications to computer music. A DSP Primer covers important topics such as phasors and tuning forks; the wave equation; sampling and quantizing; feedforward and feedback filters; comb and string filters; periodic sounds; transform methods; and filter design. Steiglitz uses an intuitive and qualitative approach to develop the mathematics critical to understanding DSP.

A DSP Primer is written for a broad audience including:

• Students of DSP in Engineering and Computer Science courses.
• Composers of computer music and those who work with digital sound.
• WWW and Internet developers who work with multimedia.
• General readers interested in science that want an introduction to DSP.

Features:

• Offers a simple and uncluttered step-by-step approach to DSP for first-time users, especially beginners in computer music.
• Designed to provide a working knowledge and understanding of frequency domain methods, including FFT and digital filtering.
• Contains thought-provoking questions and suggested experiments that help the reader to understand and apply DSP theory and techniques.
