An Introduction to the Laplace Transform and the Z Transform

This textbook introduces the techniques and applications of both the laplace transform and the z-transform to undergraduate and practising engineers. The growth in computing power has meant that discrete mathematics and the z-transform have become increasingly important. The text includes the necessary theory, while avoiding too much mathematical detail, uses end-of-chapter exercises with answers to emphasize the techniques, features worked examples in each chapter and provides typical engineering examples to illustrate the text.
