The text has some omissions which can easily filled in by an instructor
There are a number of small errors and imprecise statements that can be corrected by an instructor
The text is organized in chapters that can easily be extended
The authors clearly made an effort to make the text accessible, sometimes at the price of sacrificing mathematical rigor
Some referrals between chapters are imprecise or indicate intent only
The text is broken up into easily digestible modules
The flow/structure is good, but alternatives would be possible
I did not notice any interface issues
There are occasional very minor spelling/grammatical mistakes
It's a purely technical/mathematical text

About the Book
In this book, you will learn how digital signals are captured, represented, processed, communicated, and stored in computers. The specific topics we will cover include: physical properties of the source information (such as sound or images), devices for information cap- ture (microphones, cameras), digitization, compression, digital signal representation (JPEG, MPEG), digital signal processing (DSP), and network communication. By the end of this book, you should understand the problems and solutions facing signal computing systems development in the areas of user interfaces, information retrieval, data structures and algo- rithms, and communications.
