CHOICE Review

A brief manual to introduce a science or engineering student to one of the most widely used devices from classical mathematics, along with its more recent discrete analog. It is not about mathematics, as Grove freely declares, but a brief companion to the uses of the transform devices. Students will find in it an appreciation for the excitement that must have gripped those who discovered the properties of the now-famous transforms. There is enough of the time-worn but still worthy applications to give readers a sense of the scope of the classical uses of the device, as well as some newer and fresher uses. There are enough exercises for self-study, primarily for the learner who is not interested in what lies behind either the power or the limitations of the method. There are some references to material for further study, but they vary greatly in substance, from a study outline to an authoritative work. With discrete mathematics becoming increasingly important, it is probably the z transform portion of the book that will prove more valuable, for most elementary differential equations books used in the US contain an introduction to the Laplace transform similar in spirit to that in the present book. For engineering library collections. S. Puckette; University of the South
