I heard you speak on the "Talk Python to Me" podcast recently and then found your Think DSP project. I am working with a couple of interns this summer and although they have strong backgrounds in CS, neither knows Python or has experience with DSP. I thought your book would be a great way to get them up to speed on both, so I've 'assigned' them some reading from it.
While going through Chapter 1, I noticed some minor inconsistencies in the section on saving wave files and I have some edits for you to consider. Setting the variable 'filename' is not really needed and might be confusing. Also, the text below seems to refer to the next section, so I modified the wording slightly.

Hello Dr. Downey,
I heard you speak on the "Talk Python to Me" podcast recently and then found your Think DSP project.

Thanks for your hard work on these projects.
