One simple usage is replacing old-style indicators such as moving
averages with DSP low pass filters. Whereas a moving average requires
summing say the last 50, 80, 100 bars of data and then dividing by the
number of bars summed, you can do a two pole low-pass filter by
setting up a couple of coefficients and then looking at only the last
3 bars.

Thanks for the title reference. Too expensive to buy but maybe I can
find a copy at the library.
