The motivation for this book stems from an early exposure to the
book Ap plied Mechanics by John Perry. Professor Perry strove to
encourage his readers to understand the applications and use of
mathematics in engineering with out insisting that they become
immersed in pure mathematics. The following text uses this approach
to the application of telecommunications switching. Readers wishing
to study the derivation and proof of formulas will be able to do so
using relevant references. The existence of low-cost programmable
calculators frees practicing engineers from much laborious
calculation, allowing more time for creative design and application
of the art. The reader should not need to be able to derive
formulas in order to apply them just as, to quote Professor Perry,
"He should not have to be able to design a watch in order to tell
time ... The material for this book has been drawn from my own
experience in the field. Inevitably, however, I have used CCITT and
Bell System publications for references and in some cases
quotation, and I gratefully acknowledge permission for their use. I
am also grateful to Stromberg Carlson Corporation for their earlier
encour agement and support without which this book would not have
been possible. Thanks are also due to Fred Hadfield for his advice
and assistance in the preparation of the many figures and to my
wife Ada for her support and patience as I pursued the demanding
but interesting task of producing the text."
