If you want to understand DSP, the math underlying it and a lot of the capabilities and limitations, I recommend this book:
http://www.dspguide.com/pdfbook.htm

It is freely available from that link. You’ll have to read it on-line. I did, and found it to be the most readable explanation of DSP I had ever seen.

A great text is, "Discrete-Time Signal Processing <https://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Time-Signal-Processing-3rd-Prentice-Hall/dp/0131988425/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1489936960&sr=8-1&keywords=Discrete-Time+Signal+Processing+by+A.+V.+Oppenheim+and+R.+W.+Schafer&linkCode=ll1&tag=dspgsm0f-20&linkId=9273a86cec7d4d591dbb9d679bd2afb0> by A. V. Oppenheim and R. W. Schafer.
