From the Preface: "The material in this book is based on notes for
a course which I gave several times at Brown University. The target
of the course was juniors and seniors majoring in applied
mathematics, engineering and other sciences. My basic goal in the
course was to teach standard methods, or what I regard as a basic
"bag of tricks." In my opinion the material contained here, for the
most part, does not depart widely from traditional subject matter.
One such departure is the discussion of discrete linear systems.
Besides being interesting in its own right, this topic is included
because the treatment of such systems leads naturally to the use of
discrete Fourier series, discrete Fourier transforms, and their
extension, the Z-transform. On making the transition to continuous
systems we derive their continuous analogues, viz., Fourier series,
Fourier transforms, Fourier integrals and Laplace transforms. A
main advantage to the approach taken is that a wide variety of
techniques are seen to result from one or two very simple but
central ideas. Above all, this course is intended as being one
which gives the student a "can-do" frame of mind about mathematics.
Students should be given confidence in using mathematics and not be
made fearful of it. I have, therefore, forgone the theorem-proof
format for a more informal style. Finally, a concerted effort was
made to present an assortment of examples from diverse applications
with the hope of attracting the interest of the student, and an
equally dedicated effort was made to be kind to the reader."
