eBook Description:
Think DSP is an introduction to Digital Signal Processing in Python.
The premise of this book (and the other books in the Think X series) is that if you know how to program, you can use that skill to learn other things. I am writing this book because I think the conventional approach to digital signal processing is backward: most books (and the classes that use them) present the material bottom-up, starting with mathematical abstractions like phasors.
With a programming-based approach, I can go top-down, which means I can present the most important ideas right away. By the end of the first chapter, you can decompose a sound into its harmonics, modify the harmonics, and generate new sounds.
This version of the book is a rough draft. I am making this draft available for comments, but it comes with the warning that it is still pretty rough. Your comments and suggestions are welcome!
