QRZ.COM "W0IYH" has a picture of my new book "Discrete-Signal Analysis and
Design".

It is intended for class-room students and advanced at-home experimenters
with strong interests in
undergraduate-level mathematics. It discusses in a conversational style an
introductory (see page 2) tutorial coverage of many aspects of the title
subject. The book includes a compact disk that contains a virtually-free
copy of the world-famous and very sophisticated program MATHCAD, version
14.0. This program can be used in a very elementary mode at home by new
beginners and also in a very advanced mode by mathematically-sophisticated
engineers. The software has a perpetual lifetime, and can be used "forever"
for a multitide of applied-math calculation projects. Familiarity and
acquired skill with the math program can in themselves be a very rewarding
experience. The program has excellent graphing abilities, and the results
can be printed, archived and published
(and e-mailed) "forever". An on-disk "Mathcad User Guide" helps us to get
started.

Page one of the Introduction Chapter contains the following:

"We can never become too well educated about fundamentals and about our
aiblity to view them from a mathematical perpective. The modern emphasis on
math literacy is right on target."

This is the main idea of and the basic reason for the book.

See the Wiley website www.wiley.com for more information about the book and
the suggested list price. Other online bookstores may have the
book-plus-disk at a reduced price. Be sure that the disk is included in the
price.

First of all, allow me to add my congratulations to you, Bill, for
publishing a new book. It sounds like a valuable addition to both
professional and amateur libraries.

Just so one knows, just what are the limitations of the included
Mathcad program. Is it somewhat like a 'student version' or
'promotional version' that is limited in the number of steps or
number of variables that can be programmed? Or are the limitations
more exotic, such as not supporting regression analysis and that
kind of thing? Not that such a limitation would be a show-stopper.
One may learn a great deal from student copies of programs like
PSpice. It's just that it would be nice to know this going in.
