The text provides motivation for students to learn because they'll discover how various concepts relate to the engineering profession through these real-world examples of signals and systems. An abundant use of examples and drill problems are integrated throughout so they'll be able to master the material. And a large number of end-of-chapter problems are provided to help solidify the concepts.
