[edit] Introduction

This book will be all about the study of engineering signals and systems, from a discipline-neutral approach. It is a fundamental starting point in the field of engineering, and is going to serve as the basic material that other advanced books on the engineering bookshelf are based. This book will look at the concepts of systems, serving as an introduction to systems theory. Also, this book will look at signals, and the way that signals interact with physical systems.

While this book strives to be discipline-neutral, it currently is focused strongly on Electrical Engineering concepts. It is hoped that this book will be expanded to include information from other disciplines as well.

This book is looking for contributors. This is a wiki so you can help.
