LINEAR NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS: ALGORITHMS AND COMPUTER-AIDED IMPLEMENTATIONS (2ND EDITION) — VOLUME 2 [PDF ebook] 
(In 2 Volumes)

This two-volume introductory text on modern network and system theory establishes a firm analytic foundation for the analysis, design and optimization of a wide variety of passive and active circuits. Volume 1 is devoted to the fundamentals and Volume 2 to Fourier analysis and state equations. Its prerequisites are basic calculus, dc and ac networks, matrix algebra, and some familiarity with linear differential equations. The objective of the book is to select and feature theories and concepts of fundamental importance that are amendable to a broad range of applications. A special feature of the book is that it bridges the gap between theory and practice, with abundant examples showing how theory solves problems. Recognizing that computers are common tools in modern engineering, canned computer programs are developed throughout the text, both in the time domain and the frequency domain. In addition to the usual materials in a linear networks and systems book, advanced topics on functions of a matrix that are closely related to the solution of the state equation are included. The reader will find the study of this material rewarding.
