Synopsis

This text for advanced undergraduates and graduates reading applied mathematics, electrical, mechanical, or control engineering, employs block diagram notation to highlight comparable features of linear differential and difference equations, a unique feature found in no other book. The treatment of transform theory (Laplace transforms and z-transforms) encourages readers to think in terms of transfer functions, i.e. algebra rather than calculus. This contrives short-cuts whereby steady-state and transient solutions are determined from simple operations on the transfer functions.

About this title

Review

Should find wide application by undergraduate students in engineering and computer science. The author is to be congratulated on the mportance that he attaches to conveying the parallelism of continuous and discrete systems. --Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) Proceedings
