The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing

(Steven W. Smith, Ph.D.) http://dspguide.com Good for teaching the basics to DSP beginners. However, it deliberately tries to avoid complex number math which is a mistake; by taking a shortcut you just end up shortcutting your own understanding.

Charan Langton

http://complextoreal.com/ Same criticism. Why avoid complex numbers? Why attempt to build the complex case from the reals? But insightful tutorials nonetheless.

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/ http://dsprelated.com/dspbooks All MusicDSP roads lead to JOS sooner or later. But be warned, this is seriously heavy going. I would recommend learning from Oppenheim then coming back here.

Prof. Alan V. Oppenheim

Signals and Systems (π's #1 choice!) http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-6-007-signals-and-systems-spring-2011/index.htm Oppenheim is where it is. Where JOS may leave a logic gap for the reader to job, Oppenheim will probably state the result twice. These lectures are golden! Make sure you do the exercises as you go, otherwise you will come adrift!
