From the reviews: "Tohyama has constructed a unique text covering the overlapping fields of linear acoustics and linear systems. It should serve, as the author intended, as a companion ... to more standard texts on acoustics and signal processing. ... a different perspective in the introduction of certain topics or the inclusion of several others may be illuminating for students and scientists." (Philip W. Robinson and Jonathan Botts, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Vol. 132 (3), September, 2012)

• Introduction: Scope.- Oscillation and Resonance.- Simple Resonators for Sound.- Propagation of Oscillation.- Vibration of a String and Wave Propagation.- Waves and Speed of Sound in the Air.- Sound in a Tube.- Plane and Spherical Waves.- Sound Waves in Rooms.- Reverberation in Rooms.- Room Transfer Functions.- Sinusoidal Representation of Acoustic Signals.- Mixture of Acoustic Signals.- Diagnostics and Control of Transfer Functions.
