Edwards, C. H., and David E. Penney. Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems. 4th ed. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1999. ISBN: 0130113018.

Oppenheim, Alan, Alan Willsky, and S. Hamid Nawab. Signals and Systems. 2nd ed. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1996. ISBN: 0138147574.
This book treats both continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems, whereas this course deals almost exclusively with continuous-time signals. Students may generally ignore sections in the assigned reading on discrete-time systems. However, some of the explanations given in the continuous-time sections are given as analogies to or limits of the discrete-time cases, so students will have some familiarity with the discrete-time notation.
