I am currently studying a course in signal analysis that involves things such as FIR filters, IIR Filters and Z-transforms, and I am using the book "Signal Processing First" by McClellan/Schafer/Yoder (the blue book with a few pictures of a cat), and I believe that my course plows through that entire book, so basically that book is my course, and it is a fairly good book.
The problem though is that this book has a lot of content on a CD-ROM, and this includes solutions to all the end-of-chapter problems, but I have only been able to get my hands on a copy from my college library, and that book doesn't include the CD-ROM.
This is kind of a problem for me, because I learn things much more easily when I am able to check solutions and "fill in the gaps" from them, so to speak, and my teacher is very stubborn about this and insists that "it is better to learn the content well enough so that you don't need to check the solutions", but that's not how my brain works.
Yes, the book does have a few solved exercises in the chapters themselves, but they are sometimes too few in numbers to actually be that helpful (chapter 4 is particularly annoying, since it has lots of exercises for the easy first half and almost nothing for the much harder second half).
Do you know where I can find some exercise problems of this sort, and where I can actually see solutions for them?
Or is there perhaps some other book that is very similar and that has solved example problems?
I wonder if the CD-ROM is proprietary or if it can be copied to a SD or Flashdrive? If the data can be copied you might take it to an Officemax or Staples store and see if they can do that for you. {Just a thought }
Do they still have Schaum's Outlines? These were some of the best books I used in college.
