Stochastic Signal Processing
Explore the processing of random signals like speech, music, and climate data. This interactive textbook offers dynamic information, films, animations, and 59 real-time laboratory experiments using your device's camera and microphone. It's designed for those with prior signal processing and probability theory knowledge.

Speech, music, seismic vibrations, oil prices, and climate measurements are all examples of stochastic (random) signals. In this textbook—intended for individuals with prior training in introductory signal processing and introductory probability theory—we develop techniques to process such signals to extract useful information. We present case studies ranging from music to photographic images to oil prices to climate data to the motion of individual biomolecules. This textbook, as an interactive textbook ("iBook"), makes use of your device's ability to display dynamic information through films and animations and to hear the results of the techniques applied to music. At the end of every chapter there are homework problems ranging from easy to "olympic". We make use of your device's interactive capabilities to offer 59 laboratory experiments in signal processing. The experiments use the camera, the microphone, the speakers, and the graphical user interface. These experiments are not simulations; they are examples of real digital processing of signals in your device. In this time of at-home and online learning, this is the way to learn signal processing through study and experimentation.
Discrete Probability
This app provides a comprehensive tool for learning and calculating discrete probability distributions. It includes formulas with derivations, visual tools like histograms, and descriptions of optimized computation methods. It covers general concepts and several specific distributions.
- User-friendly calculator
- Formulas with derivations
- Exportable formulas (image/LaTeX)
- Optimized computation methods
- Histograms and visual tools
- General concepts and specific distributions
