N2  - "A concise yet comprehensive, undergraduate and graduate text for courses of mathematics, and engineering of all disciplines. The book's unique feature, found in no other text, is its use of block diagram notations to highlight comparable features of the two distinct types of equations. Transform theory (Laplace transform and z transforms) encourages the reader to think in terms of transfer functions, i.e. algebra rather than calculus. This allows short-cuts whereby steady-state and transient solutions are determined from simple operations on the transfer functions."--BOOK JACKET. "The text is uncluttered, easy to read, and does not require a strong mathematical background. Many examples from different branches of engineering are included. The book provides an ideal introduction to advanced study in transform mathematics, control theory and signal analysis, and offers to mathematicians an appreciation of how engineers use transforms."--BOOK JACKET
