A snippet from Chapter 1..... I really like that last sentence. :-)
<<<<<<<<<<<
Suppose you encounter a DSP problem, and turn to textbooks or other
publications to find a solution. What you will typically find is page
after page of equations, obscure mathematical symbols, and unfamiliar
terminology. It's a nightmare! Much of the DSP literature is baffling
even to those experienced in the field. It's not that there is anything
wrong with this material, it is just intended for a very specialized
audience. State-of-the-art researchers need this kind of detailed
mathematics to understand the theoretical implications of the work.
A basic premise of this book is that most practical DSP techniques can
be learned and used without the traditional barriers of detailed
mathematics and theory. The Scientist and Engineer’s Guide to Digital
Signal Processing is written for those who want to use DSP as a tool,
not a new career.

ps - our old pal the Omega Man first posted that link. Just goes to show
you never know where you will find a gem of information. :-)
