Synopsis
This book presents the theory and applications of Fourier series and integrals, Laplace Transforms, eigenfunction expansions, and related topics. It deals almost exclusively with those aspects of Fourier analysis that are useful in physics and engineering. Using ideas from modern analysis, it discusses the concepts and reasoning behind the techniques without getting bogged down in the technicalities of rigorous proofs. A wide variety of applications are included, in addition to discussions of integral equations and signal analysis.
