Perhaps your difficulty is in their definition of the DFT (Discrete
Fourier Transform).  See equations (12.1.7) and (12.1.9), and note
that the signs in the complex exponential terms are reversed from the
engineering norm.  Or maybe I shouldn't say "norm"---it's reversed
from the definition *I* use.  ;-)
