This book will sell because control an signal-processing students need to understand the best ways of making their computers work for them if they are to get the best results from the experimental methods they choose to adopt using any given investigation.

The student will be able to use the section on web resources which collates a number of websites to gain further instruction and to obtain extra examples and case studies Signal-processing/control students will learn to match a computer's abilities to the task required - a fundamental process in the optimal use of hardware and software. This is the only volume specifically designed for such instruction. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
