Like no other text in this field, authors Jose C. Principe, Neil R. Euliano, and W. Curt Lefebvre have written a unique and innovative text unifying the concepts of neural networks and adaptive filters into a common framework. Included with the book is a CD-ROM that contains a hypertext version of the text seamlessly integrated with an interactive software simulator.

The text is suitable for senior/graduate courses in neural networks and adaptive filters. It offers over 200 fully functional simulations (with instructions) to demonstrate and reinforce key concepts and help the reader develop an intuition about the behavior of adaptive systems with real data. This creates a powerful self-learning environment highly suitable for the professional audience.
