Laplace Transforms for Electronic Engineers, Second (Revised) Edition details the theoretical concepts and practical application of Laplace transformation in the context of electrical engineering. The title is comprised of 10 chapters that cover the whole spectrum of Laplace transform theory that includes advancement, concepts, methods, logic, and application. The book first covers the functions of a complex variable, and then proceeds to tackling the Fourier series and integral, the Laplace transformation, and the inverse Laplace transformation. The next chapter details the Laplace transform theorems. The subsequent chapters talk about the various applications of the Laplace transform theories, such as network analysis, transforms of special waveshapes and pulses, electronic filters, and other specialized applications. The text will be of great interest to electrical engineers and technicians.
