Difficult Book to Understand

I had the luxury of taking this course when it was taught by one of the authors, and I still found the book extremely difficult. Some of the concepts of the book are certainly captivating as it teaches you stuff ranging from sound manipulation to how graphics programs manipulate images, but the material is condensed and extremely hard to pick up. There were moments where I had to re-read chapters three or four times just to get a basic understanding of what is going on. Many of the sections simply throw mathematical equations at you and skip a lot of the fundamental steps when deriving theorems or making connections. I ended up finishing the course with only a superficial understanding of the material because some of the content was extremely hard to understand. If you buy this book, be prepared to spend a good amount of time re-reading a lot of the chapters. IMHO, this is not the ideal book for an introductory Signals course - it is far too complex.
