5. Text We will be using the text by Kinsler and Frey, Fundamentals of Acoustics The first edition was written in 1950 The fourth edition was published in 2000

6. Text We will be using the text by Kinsler and Frey, Fundamentals of Acoustics The first edition was written in 1950 The fourth edition was published in 2000 The principle weaknesses of this book and the others is the lack of signals oriented material Matlab homework problems
