Re: A Text book on DSP!

2) Here is this book, "Introduction to Applied Mathematics" by Gilbert
Strang. I wanted to know that if someone takes it is up as a first text
for understanding DSP (things like FFT and Z transform) then how would
it be. Can someone kindly give a through review of the book?

I haven't read this particular book, but I do have two or three of
Strang's other books and I agree with Rune's evaluation regarding
formalism.

May I suggest instead the text "Signals and Systems"
for this application. I have always loved this book,
and it perfectly fits the requirements you describe. It
is very formal, but also explicit enough for undergraduates
to pick up the concepts. It covers basic linear system theory
(linearity concepts, time-invariance, convolution),
continuous-time Fourier transforms and Fourier series,
the Laplace transform, the discrete Fourier transform,
the discrete-time Fourier transform, and the
z-transform (among other things).
