Not to me, it pretty much reads like the rest of the "explanations" I've
seen.  ;-)

DSP's are good.

Thanks for the reply.  It reinforces what I already understand about
filtering electrical or electro-magnetic "waves".  I am looking for the
definition as it applies to EE and sampled data.  Also I hear/see the term
"integrate" and am not completely clear as to what this means in the context
of EE and data samples.  I hear these terms being used frequently, but I've
never taken any EE type classes, so I'm not sure what it means.  Never took
a calculus class either.
