Drawing on the author‎'‎s 25+ years of teaching experience‎,‎ Signals and Systems‎:‎ A MATLAB‎(‎R‎)‎ Integrated Approach presents a novel and comprehensive approach to understanding signals and systems theory‎.‎ Many texts use MATLAB‎(‎R‎)‎ as a computational tool‎,‎ but Alkin‎'‎s text employs MATLAB both computationally and pedagogically to provide interactive‎,‎ visual reinforcement of the fundamentals‎,‎ including the characteristics of signals‎,‎ operations used on signals‎,‎ time and frequency domain analyses of systems‎,‎ continuous‎-time and discrete‎-time signals and systems‎,‎ and more‎.‎ In addition to 350 traditional end‎-of‎-chapter problems and 287 solved examples‎,‎ the book includes hands‎-on MATLAB modules consisting of‎:‎ *101 solved MATLAB examples‎,‎ working in tandem with the contents of the text itself *98 MATLAB homework problems ‎(‎coordinated with the 350 traditional end‎-of‎-chapter problems‎)‎ *93 GUI‎-based MATLAB demo programs that animate key figures and bring core concepts to life *23 MATLAB projects‎,‎ more involved than the homework problems ‎(‎used by instructors in building assignments‎)‎ *11 sections of standalone MATLAB exercises that increase MATLAB proficiency and enforce good coding practices Each module or application is linked to a specific segment of the text to ensure seamless integration between learning and doing‎.‎ A solutions manual‎,‎ all relevant MATLAB code‎,‎ figures‎,‎ presentation slides‎,‎ and other ancillary materials are available on an author‎-supported website or with qualifying course adoption‎.‎ By involving students directly in the process of visualization‎,‎ Signals and Systems‎:‎ A MATLAB‎(‎R‎)‎ Integrated Approach affords a more interactive‎-thus more effective‎-solution for a one‎- or two‎-semester course on signals and systems at the junior or senior level‎.‎
