Course Notes: Signals, Systems and Inference
This subject, taught in Spring of 2010, relied largely on the 6.011 lecture notes, Signals, Systems and Inference, available in the table below. (Please note that Chapter 1 is not available on MIT OpenCourseWare.)
The notes have also been adapted and published in book form by Prentice Hall: 
Oppenheim, Alan, and George Verghese. Signals, Systems and Inference. Prentice Hall, 2015. ISBN: 9780133943283.
