    Impulse Response of Causal Systems

    I am reading "Linear System Theory and Design" by Chen and he says (in what follows g(t,tau) is the impulse response function): If a system is causal, the output will not appear before an input is applied. Thus we have Causal <==> g(t,tau) = 0 for t < tau. However, this seems incorrect...
