- This book is designed for the NYU course Fundamentals of Digital Signals Theory (I), focusing on digital (discrete-time) signals as used in computers, excluding continuous-time signals except for sampling.
- It targets students with minimal mathematical or engineering background, requiring only high-school algebra and geometry, and avoids differential calculus.
- The book covers signals and systems, sampling theory, discrete Fourier analysis, and discrete-time linear filtering, providing a foundational but not comprehensive treatment.
- It was created due to dissatisfaction with existing textbooks that assume advanced technical backgrounds, aiming to be self-contained with supplementary appendix material.
- Supplemental resources are listed for mathematics (e.g., Khan Academy, 3Blue1Brown), programming (e.g., PythonTutor, NumPy), and further reading (e.g., texts by Julius O. Smith III and Richard Lyons).
- Acknowledgments are given to individuals who provided feedback and to open-source software developers.
