Applied Laplace Transforms and z-Transforms for Scientists and Engineers

the long version

The book presents theory and applications of Laplace and z-transforms together with a Mathematica package developed by the author. The package substantially enhances the built-in Laplace and z-transforms facilities of Mathematica. The emphasis lies on the computational and applied side, particularly in the fields of control engineering, electrical engineering, mechanics (heat conduction, diffusion, vibrations). Many worked out examples from engineering and sciences illustrate the applicability of the theory and the usage of the package.
