From the reviews: "In this book, Dutoit ... provide readers with practical application of the theory and working MATLAB code for the algorithms being presented, thus allowing them to actually learn the theory by experimenting with real data using the supplied code that is known to be correct and working. This mode of learning allows one to actually see the effects and transformation power of the algorithms ... presented in the text. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (J. Y. Cheung, Choice, Vol. 47 (2), October, 2009)
