What Are the Best Books for Understanding Laplace and Fourier Transforms?

AI Thread Summary
For undergraduate physics students seeking resources on Laplace Transforms (LT) and Fourier Transforms (FT), "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Pollard and Tenenbaum is highly recommended for its comprehensive coverage and clear explanations, particularly in the sections on Laplace Transforms. The book is affordable, priced around $20. Conversely, "Differential Equations" by Edwards and Penney is advised against due to its unclear and incoherent treatment of Laplace Transforms.

I am an undergrad student of physics so recommend me some good/classic books on the LT & FT .

THANX

I recommend Ordinary Differential Equations by Pollard and Tenenbaum. It's a Dover book--only costs about 20 bucks too. Besides the vast amount of info on ODE's, the sections on Laplace Transforms are the best. I would advise against using Differential Equations by Edwards and Penney for studying Laplace Transforms, because in my opinion, the section on them was incoherent and wasn't explained very clearly.
 

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

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...
