In this volume the author covers the mathematical methods appropriate to both linear-systems theory and signal processing. The text deals with a number of topics usually found in introductory linear-systems courses such as complex numbers and Laplace transforms and addresses additional topics such as complex variable theory and Fourier series and transforms. Although the discussion is mathematically self-contained it assumes that the reader has a firm background in calculus and differential equations. Each chapter contains a number of worked examples plus exercises designed to allow the student to put concepts into practice. The author writes in a mathematically elegant yet relaxed and readable style and provides interesting historical notes along the way. Undergraduate students of electrical engineering applied mathematics and related disciplines - and their teachers - will welcome this book. Language: English
