The complete 500 page PDF is free online.

Hallo,

Thanks,
I asked in a local bookstore today and they would need to import it
from the states. Cost unknown but probably something like 70 Euro (I
just asked for the first book), 2 weeks to 2 months of waiting.
Guess I should look somewhere else.. On Mon, 7 Jan 2008 19:24:52 +0100

It's for musicians. ;) According to MITpress, it's up to undergraduate
level. Also check out http://www.musimathics.com/
According to the Table of Contents, the harder stuff is in Vol. II,
where filter theory, Fourier transform, Z-transform etc. are about to
be introduced. But Vol. I doesn't seem to require much beyond adding,
multiplication and some geometry. Though I may be the wrong person to
ask: I had math training at university.
