Engineering Mathematics

Hi

Im about to start my last year at uni and im trying to find a good web site that will consider answering some mind bending maths questions in fourier series, z-transforms and laplace. A few times last year i struggled on some elements and i didnt know were to ask.

Before you say, why dosnt your teacher help. I will fill you in on how maths is taught at our uni. When you approach the teachers, they say, degrees are to be read and not taught. As a result of this our maths prof is part time and only teaches at the uni 2 hours a week.

I look forward to any advise you guys can offer.

Thanks, an English student being ripped off by the system!!

Sounds like those supposed "teachers" don't answer because they don't actual know or understand the subject well enough themselves, which is a bit scary but depressingly common.

A google query comes back with quite a few decent sites - sort of depends on the specific question in mind...

You might try asking over in the sci.math hierarchy. I don't read it though so I don't know what groups would be appropriate, etc..

Mathworld.wolfram.com has a lot of encyclopedia-style articles on mathematical subjects:

Wikipedia is also sometimes a good place to look (

). It has articles on all these subjects.

I also recommend the book _Digital Filters_, 3rd edition, by R W Hamming (that's "the" Hamming). I found it to be very illuminating. It has a good coverage of theory and practical things.

What a crock!

Thanks, your links look very helpful. I will have a good read of them tonight.

If you want a low-math introduction to the Fourier stuff, take a look at my "Gut-Level Fourier Transforms" series. It ran originally on the ChipCenter E-zine, but I also have all the articles on my site at

There is additional, overlapping stuff in the Daqarta Help system, starting at

Hope this helps!

K.A. Stroud got me through my whole engineering degree with his "Engineering Mathematics" and "Further Engineering Mathematics" text books. His style is pretty much to present lecture course slides with commentary and worked examples. The books are probably in your university library. Other than that,

is pretty comprehensive.

Best of luck,
