Digital Signal Processing and Spectral Analysis for Scientists

Silvia Maria Alessio is Assistant Professor of Digital Signal Processing and Physics of the Atmosphere at University of Torino, Italy. Her research focuses mainly on geophysics, more precisely the physics of atmosphere and of environmental, climatic and paleo-climatic problems.

"It is intended for scientists and engineers, practitioners as well as students, who are interested in the practical application of methods, and less interested in the mathematical and theoretical background. ... It is a marvelous and very practical book with an awful lot of information." (A. Bultheel, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2016)
