Hi all,

I am enrolled in an introductory signals and systems course at my university. I don't like talking down on my professors but in this case I can't help it. He is one of the worst teachers I have had in my life. I have visited his office hours but he's not really helpful in there either. I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a good signals and systems book that is geared towards the student beginner.

Thanks for your time.
