Product Description
This book proveds a clear, concise explanation of Laplace transforms, or operational calculus--now necessary knowledge for engineers, physicists, mathematicians and other scientists. Definitions, principles and theorems are illustrated and reinforced by hundreds of fully worked out problems. Also included are chapters on complex variable theory and Fourier series and integrals, so important to discussions of the complex inversion formula.

 Wonderful reference, lotsa problems December 31, 2002

I used this book (among others) for an undergraduate course on 'Fourier and Laplace Analysis' in my sophomore year in engineering. The author had presented the concepts of Fourier series and transforms before progressing to Laplace transforms. Many important topics like Convolution, Initial & Final Value Theorems as well as the applications of Laplace transforms in solving differential equations were presented in a clear-cut, understandable way. Using this book was a rewarding experience.
It helped me through control systems December 29, 2003

This book taught me both the basics and some of the finer points of LaPlace Transforms to get me past that hurdle so that I could begin focussing on the actual material presented in my BioControl Systems course. Many people got so caught up on the mathematics of LaPlace Transforms that they did not even get to the point where they could begin understanding control systems. I bought this book from Amazon at the beginning of the semester and it turned out to be a life-saver for me. I think that had I not sat down with this book for a weekend and taught myself LaPlace Transforms, I would have not passed that class.Granted, this is a single case for a single class of a single bioengineering student; nevertheless, for my part I strongly recommend this book. I was put in a class where the teacher expected the students to have an understanding of the mathematics from the start. The majority of us didn't have that background, and this book clearly, simply, and without too much complication prepared me for my class which was exactly what I wanted it to do. It has been one of the best investments (as far as school books go) of my college career. I must leave you with one parting word of wisdom. This book, and I don't think any other book dealing with such an advanced topic, is not easy to read. You will not be able to thoughtlessly master the material. You will work to understand it; your brain may hurt at times. But this book presented the information in a much-more-easy-to-digest manner than any of my college math textbooks, and for that, I am grateful.

I have several books on Laplace Transforms; but the Schaum's Outline by Murray Spiegel is particularly well done. The book is logically organized with many worked out examples. This is a classic overview of the Laplace Transform.
Excellent reference July 7, 2000

Ecellent reference for LaPlace transforms. Reviews the fundamental theory and application of the LaPlace transform to ordinary and partial differential equations. Does well with explanation of the complex inversion formula. An essential reference for any graduate or undergraduate student in the engineering sciences.

This is a valuable reference to keep handy as a reminder about which transform methods best apply to various problems that you need to solve around the office.
