Sharing Knowledge and Building Communities in Signal Processing

Abstract

The textbook has traditionally been the fundamental tool of university teaching. The text both serves as the repository of facts and information and provides the recommended structure and sequence for teaching and learning the material. Today, textbooks can be in traditional paper form or electronically available over the World Wide Web. However, the material in domains like signal processing changes rapidly as new theory, applications, and hardware continually come on the scene. In some ways, having a textbook as a courseâ s main tool actually impedes course and curriculum development.
