Relying on graphics for the physical interpretation of subtle mathematical concepts, this volume establishes a solid background in Fourier, Laplace, and Z-transforms and then extends them in subsequent chapters. The author presents a unique matrix-equation-matrix sequence of operations that dispels the mystique of the fast Fourier transform, explores the application of digital signal processing technology to real-time processing, and introduces the Dirac-delta impulse and distribution theory.

Developed as a textbook for the laboratory part of a Signals and Systems course, this book introduces students to theory through analytical examples implemented in MATLAB® code. Every theoretical concept is accompanied by the corresponding code implementation. Instead of using big M-Files or author-written functions with comments, the commands are executed one-by-one at the MATLAB command prompt, and the results, along with comments, are given side-by-side in two- or threecolumn tables. This text teaches readers how to perform signals and systems analysis with MATLAB and study associated concepts while at the same time learning how to program in MATLAB.

Mario Costa Sousa University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Integrating coverage of the subject—including geometric modeling, graphics interface, and visualization—this book focuses on conceptual aspects of computer graphics. It addresses fundamental mathematical models as well as the inherent problems encountered in their implementation. Assuming only a fundamental knowledge of calculus and linear algebra, the book offers a global conceptual view of the field and a clear explanation of its main problems. For each problem, the authors compare solution strategies, presenting them in algorithmic form, with complete working implementations provided in C language. Together, the book and electronic ancillary portion enable readers to understand and practice with the basic techniques involved in the implementation of a 3D graphics system. Catalog no.

Probability Foundations for Engineers Joel A. Nachlas Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA

“… an excellent introductory book on probability for engineers … will prepare the IE, CE and EE students for advanced courses that deal with random processes.” — Edward A. Pohl, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, USA

“The theories are presented in a conversational rather than formal form as in most of the literature on probability. … gives a good starting point for more advanced studies. … creates a solid foundation to build up knowledge in more advanced statistical research. … The strength of the book is that it presents and translates the intuition concerning probability into mathematical structures using examples and explanations rather than traditional approach of theorem and proof. … perfect for undergraduate engineering students looking for a textbook on probability.” — Prof. Uday Kumar, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden

“One of the distinctive features [and strength] of the book … is that it gives an in-depth and rigorous presentation of probability theory, while avoiding a classical mathematical … presentation. … a valuable tool for engineering students who wants to learn the basic concepts and notions of probability theory and to be able to make use of these on engineering problems.” — Christophe Bereguer, Grenoble Institute of Technology, France

“…takes a fresh approach to teaching undergraduate engineering students the fundamentals of probability. The book exploits students’ existing intuition regarding probabilistic concepts when presenting these concepts in a more rigorous manner. Students should be better able to retain the knowledge gained through reading this text because of the relevance of the examples and applications.” —Lisa Maillart, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Suitable for a first course in probability theory, this textbook covers theory in an accessible manner and includes numerous practical examples based on engineering applications. The book begins with a summary of set theory and then introduces probability and its axioms. It covers conditional probability, independence, and approximations. An important aspect of the text is the fact that examples are not presented in terms of "balls in urns." Many examples do relate to gambling with coins, dice and cards but most are based on observable physical phenomena familiar to engineering students. Features: • Presents theory in a conversational rather than a theorem-proof style • Provides a comprehensive and understandable treatment of the fundamentals of probability • Includes a summary from set theory and uses set theory to introduce probability and its axioms • Covers probability, conditional probability, and independence • Concludes with approximations and some limit theorems Special Features: Solutions manual and PowerPoint figure slides available with qualifying course adoption

Contents (abridged): Historical Perspectives. A Brief Review of Set Theory. Probability Basics. Random Variables and Distributions. Joint, Marginal, and Conditional Distributions. Expectation and Functions of Random Variables. MomentGenerating Functions. Approximations and Limiting Behavior. ... Catalog no.

Math & Stats for Engineers A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation Carlos A. Smith and Scott W. Campbell University of South Florida, Tampa, USA

Emphasizing a practical approach for engineers and scientists, this text avoids overly theoretical explanations and shows readers how differential equations are derived by applying basic physical principles and experimental observations to engineering systems. This resource also covers classical methods for obtaining the analytical solution of differential equations and Laplace transforms. In addition, the authors discuss how these equations describe mathematical systems and how to use software to solve sets of equations in which analytical solutions cannot be determined. Numerical values are provided in all examples and problems. Catalog no. K12318, May 2011, 345 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-5087-9, $89.95 Also available as eBook
