AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a comprehensive understanding of network theory, particularly focusing on complex exponentials and their physical interpretation, specifically the term "ejωt." They express confusion over the imaginary aspect of this concept and are open to reading foundational mathematics on complex numbers. Recommendations include "Lathi - Signals and Systems," which covers complex numbers and sinusoids, and the suggestion to explore introductory electrical engineering or signals books that address these topics. Additionally, the importance of utilizing online resources for further information is emphasized, though the user desires material that offers more physical context rather than purely mathematical explanations.

guys i have a humble request
i really need a very good to understand network theory

more specifically i need a book that has a very good explanation of the complex exponentials
the usage of the term "s" ejwt etc has really given me headache
i really want to understand this concept especially its physical interpretation i mean ejwt is imaginary right ? how can it be used
i am willing to read any maths book for understanding complex numbers from beginning if required
pleasez help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
can somebody please reply
 
Lathi - Signals and Systems.

Any intro EE book or signals book should have a chapter [ at least] on signals, as well as a review chapter on complex numbers. Lathi's book has a beginning chapter on both complex numbers and sinusoids.

Google is also your [free] friend in information gathering. I am sure there is a wealth of freely available information.
 
thanks for the reply
i will take a look at it but i think lathi will from a mathematical point if view
i want something with some physical interpretation
 
This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
