He has video lectures on line, but it seems his writing is a lot better than his presenting. :-\ Steve

O&S is popular but not my favorite. I probably learned more from Rabiner & Gold. I also like Proakis & Manolakis. Two favorites not mentioned are Digital Signal Processing in Communications Systems by Marvin Frerking and Multirate Signal Processing by Fred Harris, If you decide you like DSP, I would read Streamlining Digital Signal Processing. It's a collection of tricks, many of the contributors frequent this group. Al Clark Danville Signal Processing, Inc.

Not that great as an introductory text, as the first couple chapters are a bit unclear, but once you get to the meat of the actual adaptive filter material, I think it does a good job. Extremely in-depth on some topics (like analysis of LMS convergence), but not too hard to follow at the same time. Jason
