The mathematical aspects of signal processing also introduce some of its major challenges: how is a student or engineering practitioner to become versed in such a variety of mathematical techniques while still keeping an eye toward applications?
On the other hand, more advanced texts typically develop mathematical tools that are specific to a narrow aspect of signal processing, while perhaps missing connections between these ideas and related areas of research.
Taking advantage of this new freedom to develop useful concepts will require a solid understanding of mathematics, both to appreciate what is in the toolboxes and to extend beyond their limits.
